Blue Like Jazz Movie Update

bryan — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:37:15 +0000

I asked Don about the BLJ Movie when I saw him last month. He said everything was ready to go with it, they were only waiting for funding so they could begin making it. As you might imagine in such a tough economy, that funding hasn’t come through yet.

I’m guessing it will eventually, and in the meantime you can check out this video that Don and Steve Taylor filmed earlier this year. You can also check out bluelikejazzthemovie.com for more info.

I drove 2.5 hours last night from Lancaster County, PA to Alexandria, VA to hear Don talk about why he was campaigning for Obama as a part of the Faith, Family, Values Tour. It was a good night, and I blogged about it over at my personal site if you’d like to read more about it. [bryanallain.com/blog]

Ever since Don led the DNC in a closing prayer 6 days ago, there’s been a lot of talk about him on these interwebs. If you don’t believe me, go google it up and see for yourself. Here’s a few interesting links passed on to me:

+ Author Karen Spears Zacharias had some thoughts.
+ Noted political blogger Andrew Sullivan weighed in.
+ Don’s prayer launched some good discussion on abortion and voting over at my personal blog.
+ Some bloggers are already linking Sarah Palin’s politics to Don’s views.

If you had any thoughts on Don’s prayer and the current state of politics, leave us your blog link in the comments.

Interview With Don Before His DNC Prayer

bryan — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:55:21 +0000

Here’s an interview with Don done by Sarah Pulliam for Christianity Today before he gave his DNC Benediction.

Also, here’s an AP article that includes this snippet:

Democrats are “reaching out to us, and I’m not naive as to why — they want our votes,” said Miller, who gave a two-minute prayer to close Monday’s convention session. “But they won’t get them and keep them unless they continue the momentum of adopting policies that promote the sanctity of life.”

Miller cited progress along those lines — including on abortion. His other priorities — poverty, global warming — also reflect a widening evangelical agenda that might benefit Democrats, if not in large numbers in November then in future elections. Miller also said he’d leave the party if some Democrats keep mocking people of faith.

“I’d like to see Obama address that — say that voice is no longer welcome,” he said.
