Thanks to Upper Arlington Progressive Alliance for the heads-up about this event. I won’t be able to attend, but would really like to be able to post first hand accounts from people who do. If you do attend the event in Columbus this coming Sunday and would like to submit your own summary and thoughts about it, you can e-mail me at ohiorenee at gmail.com.
More about the event, and some relevant links:
What: A one-hour dialogue between Jim Wallis and the Ohio Restoration Project chairman Russell Johnson on the role of faith in politics followed by a Q&A session.
Why: Our nation is hungry for an open dialogue on moral values and their role in the public square. The goal of this gathering is to discuss how various social issues–including abortion, poverty, the environment, advancing peace, and promoting strong families–are all critical moral and community values that can be approached from differing evangelical perspectives.
