The Brody File reports that Barack Obama has joined Hillary Clinton in accepting and invitation to the April 13 Compassion Forum in Pennsylvania sponsored by the progressive group Faith in Public Life. McCain was invited, but declined, earning him a slap on the wrist from Brody. It’s one thing for McCain to blow off Christian Right elders in his quest for the presidency. But now he risks appearing to blow off religious voters generally.

Progressive means anti-Christian when compared to what Jesus was quoted as saying, and what the Apostles wrote and taught. It is not surprising that two “progressive” Democrats are celebrating the attempt to make Humanism look acceptable to Christians.

dan, i’d be interested to hear you weigh in on rod parsley’s comments. do you think the issue’s been “underplayed” by the media, given how much uproar there was about rev. wright.
re: the debate. what a score for FPL.

Let’s see, McCain has not impressed the Religeous Right, angered Catholics, voted against Dr. King Holiday and now he ignore the progressive Christians. Is there any Christians that he can appeal to left?
Regarding the comment of Man o’ man, re-read your scriptures before you comdemn other Christians view points. Progressive Theology is more opend hearted than most conservative teaching that I have hear lately. Christ is Mercy and acceptance with forgiveness and contrition.

Andrea,
I’ll weigh in re: Parsley on the blog later today, but you’re right to note what a coup the debate is for Faith in Public Life. This is an organization that didn’t even exist during the 2004 election cycle, and now its invitations are being accepted by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. That’s lightning-fast stature building.

Man o’ man – How do you define progressive? Not being for war? Not hating homosexuals or others who disagree with you? The scriptures taught love….not judgement. If that is progressive I want to be progressive. I don’t believe what conervative, fundamental, fanatical preachers teach is what Jesus taught. Just my opinion.
