This, our May gathering, might be an interesting time to discuss politics with the North Carolina primary happening this week (on Tuesday, May 6). Anyone reading Jim Wallis' "God's Politics"? Shane Claiborne's "Jesus for President"? Any other books/articles you'd like to throw in the mix? Post your ideas/suggestions in the comments, and let's have a spirited (but always good-natured and loving) discussion about politics and faith. Should Christians even vote?
Check out - "10 Reasons Why I'm Not Voting" by Mark Van Steenwyk
and then - "10 Reasons to Vote: A Sympathetic Challenge to Mark's 10 Reasons NOT to Vote" by Casey Ochs
also - "Chaplain to the Culture?" by Tony Jones
and - "Emergent Politics"
Come out and talk about what you've been reading/thinking/feeling, ask questions, engage in this dialogue and develop friendships. This is one of the few places of "refuge" where this conversation is happening in Charlotte. We hope you'll add your voice to the discussion -- online (on the message board) and in person!
