Do Democrats Want Christians in their Party?

Click the link to listen to an excellent commentary on NPR by Caroline Langston entitled, Conversion: Political, Not Religious.

She explains how she grew up a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, and became a political liberal later on in her life. Most of the time, it's the other way around, you start out a liberal when you are "young and idealistic", and then become a conservative when you "understand the way the world works".

I really identified with her. My experience has been similar in that I was always more conservative when I was younger, but as I got older, I started doubting the status quo of the Republican party. I still find myself agreeing with them on many things, but not everything by a long shot.

What I found the most interesting about this is that she talks about the fact that much of the Left is not welcoming to Christians, and asks the question, "Is there room for me at the table, just as I am?"

Thanks for reading,
