This Month on Viewpoint - August - Viewpoint

For over three decades, WPBT2’s Viewpoint has brought various religious leaders and scholars together for discussions on topics of religious, moral and ethical importance to both South Florida and the world. The goal of this monthly religion roundtable program is to provide a means by which the numerous religions of our community can come together to openly discuss timely and vital issues. As communities grow and diversify, faith becomes an increasingly significant factor, and each religion offers a unique solution to the concerns of the community. How do today’s young adults view religion and spirituality? Is religion hampering science? Who hates in the name of God? Spearheaded by host Steve Gushée, Viewpoint attempts to answer these and other questions in an effort to foster communication within the community and help educate viewers on different points of view.

Hobby Lobby Ruling
In a closely divided landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that for-profit companies can use religious objections to avoid paying for certain contraceptive coverage required under the Affordable Care Act. We discuss the impact and significance of this ruling.

Israel/Palestine Conflict
The current surge in violence between Israel and the Palestinian state comes after almost two years of relative calm. What is the extent to which a two state solution is actually viable for long-term peace in the region?
