John Kerry Interview on RELIGION & ETHICS
*** MEDIA ADVISORY *** MEDIA ADVISORY *** MEDIA ADVISORY ***


In this week's edition of RELIGION & ETHICS NEWSWEEKLY, to be distributed Friday, September 22 at 5 p.m. ET (check local listings) correspondent Kim Lawton talks with Senator John Kerry about his spiritual reawakening after years of searching for the faith he lost in his youth.

Sen. Kerry outlined his vision of how faith can - and should - play a role in public life at a speech he gave earlier this week at Pepperdine University in California. Quoting frequently from the New Testament, he described how his Roman Catholic beliefs shape many of his policy positions. And he suggested a moral agenda he believes many people of faith can share. In his interview with Lawton, the Senator spoke candidly about his own spiritual journey. "It really changed how I was thinking about myself and God and my relationship to the church," Kerry observed. "And answers came that hadn't been there previously."
