Pew Discussion on Religion and Progressive Politics

On May 1, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life held a roundtable discussion about religion in the 2008 US presidential election. Participants Laura Olson, Jennifer Butler (author of Born Again: The Christian Right Globalized), and Chris Korzen (co-author of A Nation for All: How the Catholic Vision of the Common Good Can Save America from the Politics of Division) discussed the increasingly loud voices of progressive religious activists - those who focus on broad social issues. How will the social agendas of these religious people affect the upcoming election. The conversation is well worth watching or reading.
