Is there a religious left in Canadian politics?

I have a feature in the September issue of Outlooks that examines the look at religious left in Canadian politics. This came about after reading Marci McDonald's great book The Armageddon Factor, which examines the role of the religious right in Canadian politics. Knowing that most of our out gay and lesbian Parliamentarians have a strong connection with the United Church of Canada, I spoke to MPs Rob Oliphant, Bill Siksay, and Green Party leader Elizabeth May, and so far the response has been quite positive - especially from my interview subjects.

The article is on pages 24 and 25 of the issue, which is on stands now.

PS - My interview with Marci McDonald about her book will be in October's issue.
