Faith, Politics and Journalism

This is the first of four “God Talks” in Queen Anne Lutheran Church's forum calendar, each of which serves as a one-time discussion of an issue or topic that intersects with God or faith. The conversation features Amy Radil of KUOW Public Radio and Martin Kaste of NPR News, with Pastor Dan Peterson, and questions from members and friends of the Queen Anne Lutheran congregation. What is it like for people of faith to cover politics? How do these journalists’ faith/values inform the way they cover the news as well as what they choose to cover? What do they feel people of faith should know when it comes to their coverage of politics, particularly elections? We invite you to read the article “How Should Lutherans Be Involved in Politics?” in this month’s Living Lutheran magazine in conjunction with this talk.
