Pat O’Brien, the BC director for CFI Canada, was a guest on CKNW’s “The World Today Weekend.” O’Brien and the show’s host, Sean Leslie, discussed BC Premier Christy Clark’s upcoming appearance at the City in Focus’ Young Professionals Network‘s Faith and Politics event on February 5.
According to the City in Focus’ Young Professionals Network website, this event is
A very unique opportunity not to be missed! British Columbia’s Premier, Christy Clark will be our speaker for this evening and her topic: how does she see her faith speak into her work as a political leader. . . . Do not miss this opportunity to have an up close engagement with our premier and field some questions with her.
Pat O’Brien and other members of the British Columbia team are planning to attend, and they will have a list of questions to ask Clark about her tendency to mix faith and politics.
But first, listen to Pat O’Brien discuss what he and CFI Canada see as “a worrying pattern“: Clark’s comments that she uses
the Bible as a source of inspiration for making political decisions and indicated religion is how ‘we understand ourselves’.
