A good post on the upcoming election...


...and all the drama that goes along with it.

Tim Keel shares his experience at an Obama rally. I think I would probably react in much the same way (feeling uncomfortable with chants and cheers like O-B-A-M-A). But I also really appreciate Keel's honesty, his explanations, and his perspective. He also links to a good post by Scot McKnight about voting and politics.

The election season has offered another reason why I feel more uncomfortable in conservative evangelical circles, and more comfortable with so-called "Emergents." Authors/bloggers like Keel, McKnight and Brian McLaren do a good job offering their views and opinions, and even trying to persuade people, without offending the other side or slandering the other candidate.
