State of Belief - September 125, 2015
Facets of Faith, from the Courtroom to the Bus
This week on State of Belief, Interfaith Alliance’s weekly radio show
and podcast, Rev. Welton Gaddy will looks at faith on the bus and in
the courtroom. We will hear from NETWORK’s executive director, Sister
Simone Campbell, as the nuns get back on the bus. Then, Welton turns to
journalist Sarah Posner to discuss the politics of religious faith and
presidential candidates rushing to stand with Kim Davis in Kentucky.
Finally, with an uplifting closing segment, we will turn to Rabbi Brad
Hirschfield to discuss Rosh Hashanah, and the hopes for the Jewish New
Year.
Social Justice, Religion, and a Bus
This week, Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK,
a national Catholic social justice lobby, returns to our program to
discuss the newest tour of Nuns on the Bus. Under the banner of, “Bridge
the Divides: Transform Politics,” the sisters are undertaking a 13-day
tour leading up to Pope Francis’s visit to the United States. The bus
tour left St. Louis on Thursday and will travel to 7 states before
concluding in Washington, DC on September 22 – just in time or the
Pope’s arrival. Sister Simone spoke to us just as she was boarding the
bus for this latest trip for faith-inspired social justice.
The Only Religion Question Reporters And Debate Moderators Should Ask Presidential Candidates
Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who was jailed for refusing
to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and interfering with
other clerks doing so, continues to make headlines. Welton had hoped he
could avoid the conversation on Kim Davis, but then he read a column
titled The Only Religion Question Reporters And Debate Moderators Should Ask Presidential Candidates (Kim Davis Edition). After that he couldn’t resist inviting Sarah Posner of Religion Dispatches
back on the show to talk about how candidates taking sides on this
controversy tells us a lot about where they truly stand on the US
Constitution.
A Sweet New Year (and some timeless lessons)
