"Ethical Perspectives on the News" was created over tweleve years ago by the Inter-Religious Council of Linn County and the vision of Harold Mincey. Mincey's idea of establishing a public forum which would provide information and ethical perspectives on the news of the day, has served as a model for talking about controversial subjects in a civil way.
