Clip: 5/16/2013 | 2m 14s

Theological education, he says, can help put right what’s wrong in Washington.

This former White House press secretary wants to change our bitter political climate and restore “real relationships of trust.” After graduating from Wesley Theological Seminary, McCurry, a United Methodist, says he "felt some sense of call, that God was putting on me a challenge to see if I could do something about this broken world of politics that I've worked in for so long."
