Producer's Desk — judicial nominations

What is “The Producer’s Desk”?

As you know, Richard Land LIVE! is a once-a-week broadcast. This is fine and good, but some of us are—let’s be honest—borderline ‘addicts’ when it comes to reading the news and blogs. Fear not! This is where the Producer’s Desk fills that Sunday-through-Friday void when RLL is not broadcasting.

Subscribe to this feed in your news-reader or email and read what Richard and the Richard Land LIVE! producers are reading throughout the week! (Hint: It may inform what you hear on the Saturday live broadcast.)

We hope you enjoy!

Richard Land publishes the Feb 26th edition the ERLC’s weekly “Faith and Family Values” newsletter (FFV).

This week’s FFV Includes the following:

  • Harry Reid made it clear he’s waiting for a “new president, hopefully of a different party than the one now occupying the White House…”
  • The Catholic Diocese of Little Rock finds connection between Komen for the Cure and Planned Parenthood.

The Pew Forum releases the results from its massive survey on religion in America. A few tidbits:

  • Americans = 78.4 percent Christian, 4.7 percent other faiths and 16.1 percent unaffiliated.
  • The nation’s Protestants make up just 51 percent of the U.S. population and is close to becoming a religious minority.
  • While 62 percent of Americans 70 and older are Protestant, compared to only 43 percent of Americans 18-29.
  • Jews outnumber Muslims, with Jews comprising. Muslims are the most racially diverse faith group.

Also, former Bush speech writer Michael Gerson looks into the future of evangelicalism. Gerson writes:

“…there is something essentially countercultural about Christianity that should make evangelicals restless in any political coalition… It is often hard where liberalism is soft, and soft where conservatism is hard.

…If evangelical Christianity were identical to any political movement, something would be badly wrong. It is supposed to look toward a kingdom not of this world, one without borders, flags or end. And by this standard, homelessness is a natural state.”
