A Faith Fair’s Booth on Modern Slavery

While Michael Gerson’s article in The Washington Post is more on politics than faith, he did mention how evangelical youth are fighting against modern slavery:

Judging from the questions I was pounded with, the students are generally pro-life — but also concerned about poverty and deeply opposed to capital punishment and torture. More than a few came up to me between sessions in anguished uncertainty, unable to consider themselves Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative — homeless in the stark partisanship of American politics.
