As reported in today's New York Times, Faith In Public Life is cosponsoring Senators Obama and McCain's first joint event of the campaign, the Saddleback Civil Forum on Compassion and Faith, on August 16th.

Much like The Compassion Forum at Messiah College, which brought together diverse faith leaders and Senators Clinton and Obama in April for an unprecedented in-depth conversation, the Saddleback forum will focus on pressing moral issues on which people of faith are taking action -- such as HIV/AIDS, poverty, climate change, and human rights.
