How to Vote Responsibly—Venn’s new book

Venn has released a new book ahead of this year’s election that offers thoughtful and practical non-partisan counsel about how to seek the common good of Aotearoa as we vote.

Written by Christian ethicist, economist, and Anglican minister Rev. Dr Nathan McLellan, How to Vote Responsibly doesn’t tell us who to vote for. Rather, Nathan helps us answer: What is our responsibility when it comes to voting? And how can we prepare to vote responsibly in a way that seeks the good of our neighbours?

Wayne Kirkland has had a sneak preview of the book. He writes: 

“If you (or your faith community) are struggling to navigate your way through the maze of political parties, policies, and personalities competing for your vote this coming November, Nathan McLellan's brief but thoughtful book on How to Vote Responsibly is well worth reading. He charts some of the key considerations for us to grapple with, as we endeavour to seek the common good in a pluralistic society. In doing so, Nathan lays the groundwork for healthy and respectful conversations to occur within our churches, ones that are graced with humility and a recognition of our own blindspots and limitations.”
