The Tennessean reports that there’s a new website in town – FaithfulDemocrats.com. Spearheaded by State Senator Roy Herron, a Democrat, the site is “intended to create an ‘online Christian community’ with ongoing dialogue about faith and politics — a conversation some Democrats say they have conceded to Republicans for too long.”
Amen.
I’ve read about Christian Democrats who are afraid of revealing their political affiliation to other christians for fear of being ridiculed and shunned. I’ve also had conversations with Christian Democrats who have been reluctant to reveal their religious affiliation to secular Democrats for fear of being ridiculed and shunned. Although my preference is to keep one’s religious affiliation to oneself especially if you are a politician, perhaps this new website will be good for both the christian and secular Democratic community. That is, of course, unless the discussion devolves into this.
