Southern Baptist Leader Russell Moore to Interview Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio at Evangelical Rally
Religion News Service’s David Gibson reports that Russell Moore, who leads the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, will interview Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio at an evangelical rally in August. The event is being seen as a way for evangelicals to “reassert their political influence during a time of landmark social change.” They “want to know which candidates offer a clear, coherent vision of religious liberty and have a plan to defend it when the very idea is contested in American politics,” Moore said in a statement.
