If you’ve heard the rumblings in the news on the health care reform debate, but feel you have no faith resources to understand the issue, you may want to look at the blog discussion going on at scot mcknight’s site, Jesus Creed. It’s balanced, and asks hard questions that seem worthy to consider as followers of Jesus. McKnight outlines some main points and lets his blog readers respond and react. Real faith based dialogue and debate, (mostly) not obnoxious yelling and party-line talking points….

We’ve enjoyed the lively discussion on the election post, which was our most visited post since we’ve gone online. The comment board remains open. To wrap up this election run we offer a pretty classic montage of talking points from either candidate during the three debates. No special effects or repeats or overdubbing.

Lastly, they attempted to include reasons there faith informed there vote while summarizing the reasons for their choice. We hope that Ben and Lauren sharing will be helpful for you determine your own faith priorities that weigh into your votes. Thanks guys, and happy voting…
