Yesterday, I found a podcast that I thought was very interesting. It is a facilitated discussion between Chuck Colson, Greg Boyd, and Shane Claiborne about the crossroads of politics and Christianity. Colson is the founder of Prison Fellowship and author of God & Government. Boyd is founder and senior pastor of Woodland Hills Church, a megachurch in Minnesota, and author of The Myth of a Christian Nation. Claiborne is founder of The Simple Way and co-author of Jesus for President and author of The Irresistible Revolution.
Here's a description of the podcast:
A passionate discussion is unfolding in public and in private among Evangelical leaders and communities. Should Christians be involved in politics and if so, how? What has gone wrong, and what has been learned from the Moral Majority up until now. In this live public conversation, Krista probes these ideas with three formative Evangelicals.You can find more information about it here, including downloads of the podcast, the entire unedited interview, and a video of the interview.

Thanks Shannon. I am downloading the pod cast as I'm typing this reply. This is an area that I am interested in because when I take time to reflect I consider that the "church" should be the one to make a difference in the world, and so what does it matter about politics?
But, then I also think one way that God provides is through the Government and we should have a government that cares for its people-- regardless of if I'm a christian or not...
does that make sense?
What do you think?
either one of you care to summarize the thoughts in this podcast for those of us who aren't so technologically savy? yes that would be me...
