The Last Hurrah

Last night I dreamt that Barack Obama was one of my professors at Covenant. Needless to say, it's probably time to bring our political discussions to a close. However, before I do, I've got a few last questions to which I'd appreciate your responses (think personally and practically here):

• Apart from voting (or not), what else do you, as a twenty- or thirty-something believer, do to influence political change at the local, state, and/or national levels?

• How do you try to live in community with others who hold different (perhaps very different) political perspectives from yours? What difference does age make?

• If you were tasked with trying to represent the political views of your generation within the PCA (as I am), what would you say?

Thanks for your thoughts on this last round of questions. It's been tremendously helpful to hear from you, and your thoughtful (and cordial) feedback has given me much guidance for the writing process. The comments are still open on the four previous posts, so feel free to continue any discussions you feel so inclined to pursue. If I use a quote from you, I'll be in touch.

Finally, with regard to the 2008 election, let me remind you of my own candidacy for President. Though my first digital town meeting got little media attention, I'm content to just let the grassroots buzz build before I really start playing the game (that and I have no money).

Let me hear from you on these last inquiries. And thanks again for contributing this week.
