REMINDER: The Jesus Politics Synchroblog Starts TOMORROW!!

 

 

This is just a friendly reminder that the Jesus Politics synchroblog starts tomorrow!!

In case you’re just joining us, this coming week at The American Jesus will be dedicated to talking about faith and politics, or as I’m calling it, “Jesus Politics.”

Each day of the week a different guest poster will make their case for why other Christians should vote for their particular candidate of choice. Needless to say it should be an interesting conversation. I for one am really looking forward to hearing what everyone has to say.

But wait, there’s more!

I want YOU to be involved in our discussion. Along with the guest posts, I will be hosting a synchroblog. If you’re not familiar with that concept, it’s pretty simple. Since no one blog can host everyone’s posts at the same time, one blog (in this case, mine) serves as the central meeting point where readers can come to find links to all the other blogs involved.

Which means it’s not to late for you to join the synchroblog!

So, if you are interested in joining, or just want to follow along, all the pertinent information can be found below.

If you are participating in the synchroblog and you’re championing a third-party candidate, feel free to go ahead and send me the link to your post today so I can have it ready to go first thing in the morning. Or you can just sent it to me whenever you post it tomorrow.

Well, that’s just about it. Once again, just check all the information below to see how you can get involved and, as always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
