Welcome to a listen-to-learn episode of the Share Life podcast. I'm speaking with a former university professor and Canadian Christian, David Koyzis. David has been on the Share Life podcast to discuss his book Political Visions & Illusions and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In this episode, we're talking about the values required for someone to hold political leadership. David articulated 7 guidelines he shared after the Jan 6 hearings, and has resurfaced in a recent blog post about America's current societal crisis, in light of Trump's 34 felony convictions and adamant Republican support.
In this conversation, we discuss the 7 guidelines and the history that brought us here.
According to David Koyzis, a would be office-holder...
- must respect the rule of law above his or her own ambitions
- must be loyal to the country's constitution and abide by its provisions, even to his or her own disadvantage;
- must not abuse the office to advance personal financial or other interests;
- must honourably concede to his or her successor when defeated in an election;
- must refrain from divisive rhetoric and undertake, where possible, to unite the nation around a common task of doing public justice;
- must unwaveringly adhere to the truth and refrain from self-justification to cover missteps;
- must be generous and charitable to opponents and supporters alike.
