Ever heard of Justice Sunday? From the Tennessean:
At least eight Web writers have agreed to watch the event from an Internet-enabled “blogger’s row” overlooking the 3,400-seat sanctuary at Two Rivers Baptist Church. Those from outside Nashville will be provided with plane fare and hotel rooms, said Charmaine Yoest, a senior fellow with the Family Research Council, who is organizing the Internet coverage.“The bloggers bring an element of democracy to the event,” said Yoest, who will write about the event on her conservative Web log titled Reasoned Audacity. “It gives people another venue for tapping into the event who couldn’t be there.”
The Aug. 14 rally is the second in a series of televised church demonstrations meant to pressure legislators into hewing to evangelical positions on the judiciary. The first event, held at a Louisville, Ky., church in April, called on viewers to flood the phone lines of senators who refused to block Democrats from filibustering President Bush’s nominees for the federal bench.
An evangelical rally where certain bloggers are invited to live blog, and they don’t invite a high-ranking, reasonably well-known evangelical blogger (a few non-evangelicals and…non-Christians?…were invited) who blogs about politics from an evangelical Christian point of view, not to mention her personal faith in Christ, loudly, publicly and boldly?
OK.
But…I know I should keep this verse in mind:
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God — that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.’ (1 Corinthians 1)
