A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Tim King and Eric Teetsel

It's here.  It's what you've been waiting for.  Joining R.J. and Eric Teetsel on American Enterprise Institute's "Values & Capitalism" podcast this week is our first liberal Democrat!

And who did we bestow this sacred honor upon, you ask?  Why, none other than Tim King, Director of Communications for Jim Wallis' Sojourners organization.

A native of New Hampshire, Tim is a graduate of North Park University, a former community organizer (on the South Side of Chicago, no less), and has been with Sojourners since 2008.  He frequently posts thought-provoking pieces at God's Politics Blog.  Tim is a young man who takes his faith very seriously and has committed his life to affecting real change in matters of poverty and justice.  Follow our friend Tim King on Twitter at @tmking.

You are going to enjoy the conversation R.J. moderated between the free-market Teetsel and social-justice King.  Topics discussed include: caricatures of the "Religious Right", how Sojourners views a place like AEI (and vice versa), and what common ground can be found among Christians who differ in their views on economic solutions to our nation's current troubles.

The goal was to engage in a serious, thoughtful, and civil dialogue.  You can judge for yourself, but as far as the three key players in this exchange were concerned - mission accomplished!
