Eric Redmond on Obama, Faith,Race, and the Electoral Process

My friend Eric Redmond has published an excellent blog on Obama and the election.  I have no vote (much to the relief of many Ref21 readers, I am sure -- though, bizarrely, I still pay tax in a nation founded on a principle that, I believe, connected tax obligations to representation.......) but I found myself both enlightened (as a foreigner and white guy hearing something about the African American experience) and encouraged to hear this nuanced political voice coming from a solidly evangelical pastor. Neither the `you must vote Republican' cry of the Religious Right nor the `Look at us! Aren't we naughtily pushing the envelope by voting Democrat!' posturing of the evangelical left.  You'll find the blog here.
