Coming Soon(?): Religion in the Military Discussion
Yesterday's Aspen Times ran a story on Mikey Weinstein and his legal challenge to the military for various forms of alleged religious discrimination. Head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Weinstein is slated to debate issues of church-state separation and the military next month at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. But the part of the article that caught my attention comes at the end:
The MRFF’s campaign has made national news, both in print and broadcast media. It also is featured in a documentary film set for release next month, entitled “Constantine’s Sword,” based on a book of the same title by former Catholic priest James Carroll. And the foundation’s work will be the subject of major news stories in The New York Times and a nationally distributed magazine that Weinstein declined to identify.If a film release and national media coverage are indeed scheduled for April, we can at least hope for a substantive discussion of the issues raised on both sides of this contentious and important debate.
