Producer's Desk — politics
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!

PRESIDENT OBAMA’s CHANGES
Less than 100 days into term in the nation’s highest office, President Obama has already made sweeping changes to policies that bear direct impact on Christians.

Topics: politics, election, prayer
From my latest column at ERLC.com:
Shortly after Election Day, I released an open letter to President-elect Barack Obama in which I told the new president that I would pray for him, his family and his administration, noting that I would pray that God would bless him with “safety, health and all spiritual blessings.”
What prompted my promise to pray for the president-elect?

Richard Land on Obama’s transition team

Topics: evangelicals, politics, religion
This interview with Richard Land from Dan Gilgoff of U.S. News and World Report:
“For my story today on the Obama transition team reaching out actively to religious groups as it crafts a policy agenda and prepares to set up its own version of the Bush White House’s Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives, I wanted to know if conservative religious groups were receiving the same red-carpet treatment as their faith-based counterparts on the left. So, I called Richard Land, president of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest evangelical denomination. Here’s our interview…”

Richard Land on Rick Warren’s inaugural invocation
posted by Producer on 12.18.2008
Topics: faith, politics, prayer
Richard’s thoughts on on the Warren invocation:
“I’m encouraged that President-elect Obama would select Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration,” Land told Baptist Press. “First, it is a signal that President-elect Obama is going to employ a big-tent philosophy in his administration’s approach to people who may disagree with them on some issues, but not others. His selection of Rick Warren indicates that people who disagree with the president-elect on sanctity of life issues are not automatically persona non grata at the White House in an Obama administration. It also indicates that the president-elect is not buying the radical homosexual activists’ argument that anyone who opposes them on the gay marriage issue should be ostracized as a bigot.” - Richard Land
