Jackson, Tenn. - CrossPoint is a new radio program, sponsored by
51ÉçÇø, which will feature lively conversations about the
relationship of faith and culture. The hour-long program will be broadcast
each Friday at noon on WWGM (93.1 FM), and is hosted by Dr. Michael Duduit,
Union's Executive Vice President.
"We want this to be an interesting and engaging program that
realistically deals with the way faith relates to a variety of issues in
our society, from politics to business to popular entertainment,"
explains Duduit. Most of the guests will be drawn from Union's faculty,
but guests will also include civic and church leaders from throughout West
Tennessee.
The first program, slated to air on March 31, is entitled, "Can
You Vote Your Faith?" and will deal with the relationship of
religious faith to political life. Guests will include: David Gushee,
professor of Christian ethics at Union and a featured columnist with the
Jackson Sun; Hal Poe, Vice President for Academic Resources at Union and a
former Republican Party leader in South Carolina; an Nancy Thomas, an
adjunct professor of political science at Union and former staff member
for a Democratic governor.
A special feature of the program will be the opportunity to call the
program and visit with the guests.
"We look forward to allowing people across West Tennessee to call
in and participate in some great discussions on significant topics that
affect all of our lives," Duduit says.
In addition to over-the-air broadcast, the program will be available
via the Internet to listeners around the world. The address is
and requires Windows Media Player (which is available for download for no
cost at that site).
Duduit, who will host the program weekly, also serves as Associate
Professor of Christian Studies at Union and is editor of Preaching
magazine, a professional journal for ministers.
