Video | How politics sullies religion
Steven Waldman, of Beliefnet, and Peter Wehner, of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, discuss Waldman's new book: Founding Faith and other topics in religion and politics.
"The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life invited Laura Olson, author of the forthcoming book with the working title, Generals Without an Army: The Protestant Left in American Politics; Jennifer Butler, author of Born Again: The Christian Right Globalized; and Chris Korzen, Executive Director of Catholics United, to discuss the issue."

Video | Richard Rice talk: Faith + Science
Yes, I posted these on the first edition of the Spectrum Blog, but in light of some of the recent discussions, this informed commentary seemed germane.

A Word or Two in Defense of Mary
Balance is hard to achieve. Especially in religion.
Rarely are we able to correct an extreme pendulum swing by moving back to dead center. Rather, we swing too far in the other direction. I’d suggest that’s what’s happened in the case of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Clearly, the Roman Catholic Church fell in love with Mary. I mean, they
really fell in love. So much so that at times one might wonder whether
Jesus or Mary is the real Savior of the world.
Protestants derisively refer to Catholic dogma and tradition surrounding
