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 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."
