Anglicans have enough internal politics of their own to fuel the post-service discussions - issues, such as abortion, might be a topic, but not specific candidates.

I would have no problem with what your husband is doing. My problem is when the person steps onto the pulpit and says "Vote for XYZ Candidate."
When I was an active church member at my church in Boston, I had several political conversations with the leaders of the church; they were intelligent and thoughtful people and always had something interesting to say. If they had stepped up to the lectern and preached those beliefs to the church members, that's where I would have drawn the line.
