ArchivesNH Delegation Fully Supports War in IraqBy Priscilla Huff on Tuesday, June 29, 2004.In a surprise move, the Coalition Provisional Authority Monday handed over sovereignty to the Iraqi transitional government two days earlier than planned.

 The Church and PoliticsBy Laura Knoy on Tuesday, June 29, 2004.The church always plays a role in presidential elections, as candidates tout their faith and court religious groups. This year's race is no exception. In fact, events like Bush's recent request to the Vatican to rally religious leaders behind him, or the move by some Catholic bishops to deny pro-choice politicians, like John Kerry, communion have some wondering if the line separating church and state has been crossed. However, others argue that it's just political and religious leaders doing their job and suggest our culture has become too secular. We'll discuss it, and we'll ask why religion is taking on such importance in both the Bush and Kerry campaigns. Laura's guests are Dr. Ann Riggs, theologian and associate professor in the department of religious studies at Rivier College in Nashua and Linda Feldmann, staff writer at the Christian Science Monitor. We will also hear from Father Richard John Neuhaus, editor of First Things Magazine, the Journal of Religious and Public Life, and Reverend Mary Wellemeyer, pastor at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Manchester. listen:
