THE CHRISTIAN POST: THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT AND LEFT FIND COMMON GROUND ON POVERTY
Christians on the right and left tend to distance themselves from one another. Oftentimes, the decision of which place of worship to attend depends mostly on the political leanings of the congregation. However, recently The Poverty Forum, a group of 18 diverse Christian leaders with expertise in poverty initiatives and policy reform, brought together a diverse group from the Democrat and Republican camps to discuss the problem of poverty in American–recognized as a issue to prioritize by both sides.
Question to the Blogosphere: Often we hear about differences among religions that cause strife, but how do differences within religions like Christianity, Judaism, and Islam affect internal security and community unity? What other issues can most Christians agree on (for that matter most Jews or most Muslims)? What characteristics of poverty make it an issue upon which many people can agree? Are there other issues like this?
