In this first episode of News and Religion, I talk with ethicist David Gushee of Mercer University about the statement he helped draft that confesses resistance to presidential candidate Donald Trump as a Christian obligation.

Dr. Gushee is a columnist for Religion News Service and the author of Changing Our Mind. After the interview with Dr. Gushee, our News and Religion panel (David Dorn, Christy Thomas and Joseph Yoo) discusses Donald Trump and the 15 United Methodist clergy and clergy candidates from the New York Conference who came out as lesbian, gay or bisexual this week.
