Bob Sittig is a former prison ministry colleague of mine from many years ago with 40 years of poli sci under his belt. He is most enthusiastic about the project. Jerry Johnston works for Nebraska Public Radio and NET is hosting a senate debate on October 1. Jerry will bring clips to discuss. He was asked to do all the sessions and we hare happy to have him for the one. <br /><br />Here’s how we are promoting the series.<br /><br />"Taking on the Taboos: Politics and Religion"<br /><br />In Chapter 11 of In Defense of Civility James Calvin Davis (Westminster workshop leader January 2012) indicates that the Christian community is where politics MUST be discussed. The theme of the E.N. Thompson Forum at UNL this Year is Religion: Rights and Politics, and the keynote speaker Robert Putnam’s topic on October 2nd is “American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us".<br /><br />With the upcoming election in mind we will offer three structured discussions of the candidates and the issues. We will entertain every question that is courteous and sincere.<br /><br />October 7 Moderated by retired UNL Political Science professor, Robert Sittig.<br /><br />October 14 Moderated by radio producer, Jerry Johnston, with special focus on the Fischer-Kerrey campaign. <br /><br />October 28 Moderated by retired UNL Political Science professor, Robert Sittig.<br /><br />*October 21 is set aside to Report/and Celebrate WPC’s Day of Mission.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273430931439725054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469671808146118760.post-79966458273007224102012-09-07T08:53:46.898-04:002012-09-07T08:53:46.898-04:00Over the last few years, and especially now, I lis...Over the last few years, and especially now, I listen for Christian content from the candidates. For me "Christian content" is that which speaks with courtesy and respect to all people, especially to opponents, and presents ones side truthfully. From this you may guess which candidates I support.Andrea Sendernoreply@blogger.com
