On August 23, Democratic US Senate candidate in Virginia and former Virginia governor Tim Kaine spoke at Floris United Methodist Church in Herndon, Virginia about issues of faith and public policy. Listen to Kaine, a Roman Catholic, describe working with Jesuit missionaries in Honduras, presiding over executions despite his faith-based opposition to the death penalty, and practicing faith-based environmental stewardship. In an interview with R&E, Kaine also explains why Democrats only seem to be less adept than Republicans at religious outreach.<\/p>\n
