Sanders, Institutions and What We're Supposed to Be About

Last week, two big stories about Christians and the Democratic party started circulating on social media: On one hand, a major figure in the party seemed to use an executive branch nominee's faith as a reason to vote against confirming him for work, and on the other hand a number of Christians publicly affirmed their commitment to the Democratic party.A recent conversation with Dr. Peter Baker helps us understand how those two things might be possible at the same time.
