Rick and Kay Warren -- Bipartisan Invitation

As presidential candidates run around seeking the imprimatur of religious leaders (that is, looking for endorsements), I want to applaud the decision by Rick and Kay Warren to invite candidates from both parties to address their AIDs conference. In doing this they're giving some publicity to their cause, but not crossing the line into endorsements. The result is a bit of bipartisanship. Hopefully the six candidates invited will put their focus on the issue of AIDs and not get sidetracked on other political issues.

I may not always agree with Rick Warren, but on this he has shown us a better way. It is a model for political engagement without becoming beholden to the parties. We'll see how it all turns out.

There are several links on this -- but my discovery is via Melissa Rogers. The link to the conference website is found here.
