I’d Like to Phone a Friend

The Bulletin considers the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the role of forgiveness after tragedy, and the intimidation election officials face as the polls open.

This week on The Bulletin, Clarissa Moll and Russell Moore welcome Alan Noble (writer and professor at Oklahoma Baptist University) to help us consider the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump and the concerns it raises. Then, they examine the role of forgiveness after tragedy as they remember the life of Rosanna King, a survivor of the 2006 Amish schoolhouse shooting, who died this week. Finally, Harvest Prude (Christianity Today) joins us to discuss election officials facing intimidation as the polls open.
