Progressive & Religious - The Campaign A report released today by Public Religion Research finds that mainline Protestant clergy are broadly supportive of equality for gay and lesbian Americans.

Roger does anyone have any tips for good literary agents or publishers for a book exploring a progressive approach to Christianity? (I'm almost done writing such a book)

Boothe Davis "Luntz is a spinmeister who won broad influence by acting as pollster for Newt Gingrich. Over the last dozen years, corporations and conservative ideologues have paid Luntz tens of millions of dollars to craft their messages."

Progressive & Religious - The Campaign A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of speaking at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, as a guest of Tom Krattenmaker, frequent contributor to USA Today and Associate Vice President at Lewis & Clark. After the event, I talked at length with George Rede, Sunday opinion editor at the Oregonian, who focused his Easter Sunday column to my recent book, Progressive & Religious.

Progressive & Religious - The Campaign Flagging the new article in U.S. News today about tensions between religious progressives & the religious left:
"Robert P. Jones, a member of the 'Come Let Us Reason Together' coalition and a key player among Washington's more centrist religious progressives...[argued that the religious left is in danger of] repeating the mistakes of the religious right, whose ideological purity has...led to few policy victories..."

Progressive & Religious - The Campaign

Progressive & Religious - The Campaign Thought I'd flag for everyone George Rede's coverage of my talk at Lewis & Clark College on the emerging progressive religious movement. Rede says:
"Count me among those who tend to dismiss it as the realm of those who use their faith as a justification to impose their beliefs on others, even if it means doing so militarily. So forgive me -- no pun intended -- for admitting my surprise at how much I enjoyed a lunch-time talk at Lewis and Clark College by one Robert P. Jones, the author of a new book on progressives and religion. He's an ordained minister, a professor and a pollster, and I think his book could potentially have great impact in these times."

As a C-and-E Catholic at best, I don't spend much time in church or even thinking about things spiritual. You're more likely to find me in a pew on Christmas Eve than Easter, and because I've never read the Bible or the Quran or any other holy book, I don't find myself drawn to the topic. ...
