CHICAGO, IL (June 1, 2007) \u2013 Upcoming televised forums featuring presidential candidates offer an opportunity for churches to ask questions about faith, poverty, and politics, says Glenn Palmberg, president of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
\n
\nCNN will broadcast the first forum at 7 p.m. EDT Monday from Pentecost 2007 in Washington D.C. The event is sponsored by Sojourners\/Call to Renewal\u2014Palmberg serves on the group\u2019s board of directors. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards are scheduled to participate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of \u2018Pentecost 2007: Taking Vision to the Streets<\/a>\u2019 is to call individuals, churches, and most importantly, our political leaders to commit to putting poverty at the top of our national agenda,\u201d states the event’s website. \u201cWe believe that the conversation about moral values in America has been widening and deepening, building into a movement for real change.\u201d<\/p>\n

A similar forum for top Republican candidates has been scheduled for September in Iowa. More information on that event will be published as it becomes available.<\/p>\n

Church members are encouraged to gather for \u201cwatch parties,\u201d at which they can discuss questions before and after the forum. Questions to consider before the event could include, \u201cWhat question would you ask the candidates?\u201d or \u201cWhat important subjects regarding faith are being addressed or not addressed on the campaign trail?\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the event, participants may want to ask questions such as \u201cWhat did you hear tonight that most impressed or troubled you?\u201d or \u201cWhat one specific proposal did you hear that you liked and one that you disliked?\u201d<\/p>\n
