Religious Influence At One Nation Working Together Rally Ignored By Media

I find in media land there appears to be good religion involvement and politics and bad religion religion involvement politics.

Churches involved in the public square on issues such as abortion, stem cell research, divorce laws, life issues such as abortion are a threat to the Republic and one gets a sense a violation of "separation of Church and State".

On the other hand when Churches are involved in such issues as poverty, immigration reform, supporting gay marriage, tax policy for more govt programs, more funding for public schools, State execution, the environment, supporting abortion rights, etc etc well this is a great thing!!

Get Religion has a interesting post up at God and the Tea Party. What is at the end is what caught my eye.

I should also note how surprised I was to read in the New York Times that the United Church of Christ and the National Baptist Convention were co-sponsors of this weekend’s One Nation Working Together rally on the mall. Even if there were 300-plus groups sponsoring, the religious influences of the rally were largely unexplored. There even was an interesting angle (unnoticed by the mainstream media) of the United Methodist Church backing out of its sponsorship at the last minute, citing concerns over the tone of the rally and of co-sponsors. They didn’t state which co-sponsors were problematic but the march included the Communist Party USA and other radical groups. Once again, though, the religious left is largely invisible to the media.

I do find it interesting that the United Methodist did not see way before hand that this rally could be problematic. Though the main office might trend "liberal" no doubt "red State " Methodist which are many would have been in a uproar.

Still these are big groups faith groups that were involved. Where was the coverage and the critical analysis if this was proper as we saw as to the Glenn Beck rally?
