“God is not a Republican…or a Democrat” is the theme for a forum and live webcast set for 7pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 16, at Trinity Church, Broadway at Wall Street, New York City. Presented by both Trinity Church and New York’s Riverside Church, the forum will be webcast at www.trinitywallstreet.org.
Set to examine the role of religion in the 2004 presidential election, the forum will pose the question “Are we a nation divided by religion?”
Trinity Church -- led by rector James H. Cooper and one of the nation’s most historic Episcopal parishes -- will welcome five speakers for the forum, to be moderated by Jim Wallis, editor of Sojourners magazine. Speakers also include the Rev. Dr. Jim Forbes of the Riverside Church, the Rev. Wesley Granberg-Michaelson of the Reformed Church in America, Rev. Bryan Hehir of Catholic Charities, and Dr. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention.
“American voters revealed moral values to be the deciding factor in this year’s election, and the result may be a nation dangerously divided,” a forum brochure states. “This unique interdenominational discussion will explore the extraordinary role played by religion in presidential politics this year.”
