Amicus Publicanorum et Peccatorum - Political Views of a Liberal Christian

About Me

My blog posts give my take on the current issues in politics and the 2008 election and how they are intertwined with my views as a liberal Christian.  The title is a phrase meaning "friend to tax collectors and sinners" taken out of Luke 7:34 in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible. It serves me as a reminder that Christians are called to love everyone, not just people who look like us or agree with us. Feel free to post responses.
