Bill Blakey, the Social Gospel and the Justice Tradition

As I write, CBC's The House is discussing the role of faith in politics. The first interview, however, is by far the more interesting. Bill Blakey talks about his faith grounded in the social gospel that was the foundation of the early CCF and NDP. The rest of the show looks at the role of a more evangelical faith in politics. The contrast could not be more stark.

Have a listen.
