[a fool in paradise]

I see he didn’t have the guts to include Jeremiah Wright among those he considers opinions on faith. 20 years. Can’t disown the man.

[marron]

Exactly what does a “Faith Advisory Council” do?

I would tend to think that anyone whose name is on the list is being conned, or else he’s in on the con.

[Paved Paradise]

I see no Catholics on there. That is very odd. Does he not think there are many Catholics in this country???

Unreal.

[LiteKeeper]

I have been a minister for 30 years. I have heard of three of these people, and two of them are extremely liberal. Who are these people?

[autumnraine]

How about working on the Treasury Dept?

The Rev. Peg Chemberlin, president-elect, National Council of Churches USA, Minneapolis

National Council of Churches helped send Elian back to Cuba.

[miele man]

I am quite amazed there are no Episcopalians on this listing. I thought they would hold a prominent place on the listing.

[chase19]

Surprised the Abortion is a Blessing - Katherine Ragsdale didn’t make the list.

Here’s Harry Knox:

Knox is working to give ‘a big megaphone’ to advocates for homosexual rights:
The director of the Human Rights Campaign’s Religion and Faith Program, who will give three talks in Toledo tomorrow, said advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons have been drowned out in the media by right-wing Christian fundamentalists.

Your link says Washington Post, BTW.

And I am astounded that the Washinton Times would print the phrase “baited breath” unless we were talking about eating worms.
