Alabama Congessman Artur Davis

Faith and politics took center stage at the University of Alabama law school Thursday evening.

U.S. Representative Artur Davis and Dr. Randy Brinson of the Christian Coalition of Alabama hosted the unique political discussion. Davis says the interplay of faith and politics is not a new concept, but he hopes to eliminate some of the myths associated with faith in the political world.

"We are doing it frankly to puncture some of the myths about faith. For example, some people think that Democrats have a problem talking about faith, and that's not true. And on the flip side, some people think Republicans talk too much about faith and that's not a fair judgment either," said Davis.

The second event of the forum is scheduled for October 28th at Jones Law School in Montgomery.
