Above Tim Alexander and William Buchanan, Nashville area pastors, discuss "The Rightful Role of Faith in Politics" in an excerpt from the Baptist Center for Ethics new DVD on "Golden Rule Politics." Here's a quote from Robert Parham, Executive Director of BCE,:
Through Christian representatives from a number of Christian faith traditions, "Golden Rule Politics" explores what is the rightful role of faith in politics. Democratic politicians share their Christian witness, without ever making an exclusive claim to the politics of providence. Clergy caution that political parties are neither thoroughly moral nor completely immoral, that God is neither a Republican nor a Democrat, that sin is a universal reality and that God transcends human finitude.
"Golden Rule Politics" challenges a myth, offers a corrective story and outlines three answers to the question--what is the rightful role of faith in politics?

Bruce: I know you have not made any comments at baptistlife.com in some time, but your devotion to free speech has been questioned by one of the moderators there.
I consider William Thornton a friend, but I think you should take him to task there on that board for as long as the discussion goes.
In several exchanges with my Uncle there, a retired Aforce Chaplain who in my opinion has slighted Charles Marsh and the timeliness of his book Wayward Christian Soldiers, I have been sidelined at that board barring further decision for this fall's Presidential campaign, until Jan 08.
I do hope you will engage the cause there as you press on here.
On another matter I take a little exception to your point in the MOyers Rove Exchange, but agree with you that none of us are beyond making mistakes.
