What should Christians think about the National Anthem/American Flag controversy? What about the Christian religious symbolism found on the Maryland flag (and even the Frederick City flag)? To aid one’s understanding it can be useful to examine direct sources, such as quotes from America’s Founding Fathers and the words written directly in government legislation.

Panel: Troy Skinner, 930 WFMD Host/Moderator of The Faith Debate. Tim May, Pastor at Pleasant View Church of the Brethren (and co-host of WFMD’s “Mid-Maryland Live” program which airs weekdays 3p-6p). Bernie Beall, Co-Founder of Great Commission Families.

The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth.  Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”.  In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another.  The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.

Frederick Faith Debate

The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth.  Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”.  In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another.  The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.

In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most.  We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding.  And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty.  So, that’s what you get here.  A safe haven for honesty.  We share what we hold to be true and why.  Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out.  Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings.  At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
