A Mirror on Morality

Sound Learning Feature for May 2005

This month we visit the MPR newsroom, and their feature after the 2004 election, A Mirror on Morality.

Since the November, 2004 election, much has been said about moral values. Many people say their beliefs don't just play an important role in their life, but also in how they vote. Conservative Christians voted in large numbers, helping to re-elect President Bush. MPR held a series of conversations with parishioners from around the region about how their moral values play into their political decisions.
