Check out
the “Politics and the Christian Response” Blog
Updating
continues on the blog created by the Presby Connections small group “Politics
and the Christian Response.” Group leaders Rick and Karen Wedel encourage
people to become acquainted with the blog. Not only does it contain articles
written by or responded to by our small group participants and others
interested in our subject, but it is a vast resource of other information
relevant during this election year as we attempt to integrate faith into the
election process. If you haven’t regularly visited the site, it is worth the
trip. (No gas required!) Be ready to post comments and even do some writing.
