Religious Right, Left Meet in Middle. Clergy Aim to Show That Faith Unifies.
After a year in which religion played a polarizing role in U.S. politics, many religious leaders are eager to demonstrate that faith can be a uniter, not just a divider. The buzzwords today in pulpits and seminaries are crossover, convergence, common cause and shared values.

Really? Because last Sunday at the First Baptist Church (I hear it because I work Sunday mornings at WDMG), Shep pastored on "liberal" views and how they're wrong. How tolerance was wrong. How the "liberal" god wasn't the true and living god. Blah blah blah. I was shocked at what I was hearing but certainly not surprised. Of all the topics he could have pastored on he chose to preach a sermon of division. I'm considering writing a letter to the editor to call for exactly what this post writes about: unity.
