Dr. Jay Richards, director of Acton Media, joins David Welch, host of WEPM-AM's Panhandle Live, to discuss the state of the debate over Global Warming. Dr. Richards discusses the scientific evidence that the Earth has warmed slightly over the last century, and comments on the controversy over whether the rise in temperature is primarily due to human activities or natural causes. Is there truly scientific consensus on the issue? What role does politics play? What are the opinion trends within the religious community? Dr. Richards and Mr. Welch touch on all of these issues in this 19 minute interview.

The Radio Free Acton crew takes on the controversy over the highly-publicized statements of Rev. Jeremiah Wright who served as pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ and serves as a spiritual mentor to Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Host Marc Vander Maas is joined by Anthony Bradley and Ray Nothstine, and Acton President Rev. Robert A. Sirico makes his first appearance in the Acton Studio.

What is Black Liberation Theology? What are the similarities and differences between Black Liberation Theology and the Liberation theology that rose to prominence in the 80s? What would the early civil rights leaders in the US think about this theology? The RFA crew tackles all these questions.

Rev. Robert Sirico presents on the "Religious Left" to a sold-out 2008 Acton Lecture Series audience.

Rev. Sirico looks at a resurgent movement in religious circles to advance big government programs behind a so-called “social justice” agenda. The Religious Left has aligned with Big Labor, pacifist groups and liberal politicians to promote collectivist alternatives to the free market. Can anyone stop them?
