I assembled a politically diverse group to talk about conservative, progressive, and libertarian political models and which one lined up best with core Christian values.
Daniel Sinclair, the conservative, served as an associate pastor for over a decade and is now working through a Masters in theology and writing at www.wholereason.com. Chris Criminger, the progressive, has served as a pastor for a number of years. And then there’s me, Cody Cook, the libertarian who is in the process of completing an MA in theology and who writes and podcasts at www.cantus-firmus.com
We talked about why we found each of our views in the Bible and the flaws we found in the views of the others.
