I don't know why there's this common idea na kapag nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno, dapat "non-partisan" at hindi makikitang outwardly political. but what they really mean is bawal maging opposition. look at the many DDS na gov't employees, that's as partisan as it gets.
Church is supposed to be the community or group of believers who will help u to be more like Jesus, not to hurt you, nor to make u feel ALWAYS pressured.
