As people head to church, or other services, this weekend, many will no doubt be praying or hearing sermons about peace -- and politics.

For one congregation, politics is something that’s always on their minds.

With some of its more than 1,600 parishioners, last Sunday we visited the St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in West Roxbury. It’s a Christian church with many members of Syrian, Iraqi and Lebanese descent.

This segment aired on March 10, 2017.
