GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — The Grand Valley Interfaith Network interviewed religious leaders, political candidates and everyday people of different faiths on camera for a video titled “Who is Speaking for God?” to be shown Thursday at Mesa State College.
The interviewees discussed the relationship between their faith and their vote.
A rabbi, a pastor, a sikh, two politicians and various lay people are among the 20-plus who responded to GVIN’s request for an interview.
“We tried to get people from the right and from the left, and everywhere in-between,” said organizer Karen Sjoberg.
The video is the brainchild of John Mok-Lamé, pastor of Sojourners Church. The idea came about during a brainstorming at one of GIVN’s monthly meetings. GIVN members are comprised of various faith-based communities, including 12 churches as well as organizations such as Grand Valley Peace and Justice and Catholic Outreach. Several people worked on the project, including Palisade High School student Jaron Curtsinger, who edited the film.
