Dr. Albert Mohler is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, and a very prominent Christian theologian, speaker, author, and commentator. He creates a daily podcast called "The Briefing," which describes itself as a 'daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.' Conservative Christians would do well to listen regularly to his candid and theologically-informed takes on the events of the day.

Today, much of his time is devoted to analyzing the split in the United Methodist Church, something many readers have a vested interest in. He briefly discusses the background and events leading to the split, the numbers of churches who left the UMC, and several reasons why he thinks many of the 'conservative' churches who left may not find a comfortable home in American Evangelicalism. It is a perceptive and interesting analysis definitely worth 25 minutes of your time to listen to.
