Since 1953, members of Congress have hosted the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., which brings together political, social and business leaders from around the nation and the world. And, in keeping with the tradition of this annual event, President Barack Obama will address this year's gathering. Throughout his 2008 campaign, election and inaugural activities, President Obama has acknowledged the importance of religion in his life. Already his Administration is in the process of staffing the newly renamed White House Council of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, beginning with the selection of Joshua DuBois as its head. Kim Lawton joins Bob Abernethy for a studio discussion focusing on the President's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast and what's ahead for his Administration's new Faith-Based Council.
