057: Rise of the Religious Left?: Matthew Sitman

From the popular leftist podcast "Know Your Enemy", Matt Sitman joins the VCW hall to share his story about being raised in fundamentalist Christianity and experiencing culture shock when he attended Grove City College while moving into an Evangelical culture.  He discusses being a part of the historic Falls Church in Virginia in 2006 when there was an ugly church split over the appointing of an openly gay bishop.  Moving from the conservative right to the left, he talks about how his faith has changed and remained constant while talking about the prospects for a religious left.
