When the personal shouldn't be political
Gary Hart, the former presidential candidate, wrote a very thoughtful op-ed piece in today's New York Times on the dangers of mixing faith with politics in political campaigns. Raised in the Church of the Nazarene, Hart also points out that the Christian faith includes social justice and helping the poor, and it does not give the U.S. a mandate to invade Iraq or other countries.

That is interesting. I visited the Church of the Nazarene in downtown Portland a few times in the late 70s, at a time when I was searching for the right church. I saw the late Eldridge Cleaver speak there once (having renounced his political radicalism).
