Folks were concern about Obama extending the Faith based initiatives Bush started years ago. However, there could be a new twist to that. The President just named Fred Davie to serve on the Policy Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
But what's so special about this? Well, Fred is openly gay and the president of Public/Private Ventures, an organization that creates and strengthens programs to improve the lives of residents in low-income communities.
In this role, Davie will provide objective, nonpartisan advice to the President on public policy matters, including strategies to strengthen the social services and community- and faith-based organizations, and their potential as part of long-term economic recovery efforts.
