Faith & Action president Rev. Rob Schenck has written an extensive blog post on his participation in yesterday’s conference call with President Obama and other faith leaders on the topic of health care reform.

From Rev. Schenck’s blog entry:

“[T]here are some folks out there who are frankly bearing false witness.” — President Barack Obama on a call to religious leaders on August 19, 2009

While on a live conference call with the President yesterday, my jaw dropped as I heard Mr. Obama use the Ten Commandments to attack critics of his healthcare reform plan. Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t plan on entering the minutia of that debate. Public options, non-profit cooperatives, benefit caps, super regulators, etc., etc, are not in my skill set to comment on. There are others who are doing that, and doing it well. I accepted the invitation to sit in on the call because it was billed as a “National Faith Community Call” to “faith leaders.” It was organized by an ad hoc group of mostly Christian activists and I knew some of the featured clergy, including Joel Hunter, a fellow evangelical. At least three prayers punctuated the agenda, so, this was definitely “my turf.”
