The Rev. Bob Edgar Visits Eden Theological Seminary

The Rev. Bob Edgar, general-secretary of the National Council of Churches (NCC), preached in the chapel at Eden Theological Seminary this morning.  Edgar is in St. Louis for the 2004 NCC General Assembly.  He offered some reflections on the recent elections and noted how important it was for progressive Christians to continue lifting up issues of justice to those in power – both Republicans and Democrats.  Edgar also said that NCC plans to expand their advocacy efforts and told me before the service how important a roll he thinks FaithfulAmerica.org, NCC’s online advocacy service, will play in that expansion.  Click here to read my June interview with Edgar for additional information.
