Faith Forum preview
Many of the mayoral candidates for the upcoming Cullman, Alabama, city election are scheduled to speak Thursday at a “Faith Forum,” designed to let the candidates share their beliefs regarding religion.
Marshall Rowe, Ernest Hauk, Lou Bradford and Max A. Townson have all signed on to take part in the event, which will be hosted at East Side Baptist Church.
The only candidate not yet scheduled to appear is Eric Perry, whom the forum’s organizers are still trying to contact.
“The reason for this is, you have other venues available for candidates in the community,” Pastor Ken Allen said. ”This is a venue that offers candidates the opportunity to express their faith and it gives the people of Cullman a chance to hear them express their faiths.”
The candidates will be asked to answer three questions, with a five-minute time limit for each answer.
The questions will address what the candidates top three issues would be if elected, will ask them to describe their journey of faith (if any), and ask what they would do to make Cullman a special place to live.
The forum will take place in the Christian Life Center at East Side Baptist Church.
Allen said he encourages everyone in the community to come out and see what the candidates have to say.
“I hope the people will come out more informed with the candidates and where they stand as a believer,” he said. “And see how that will impact how they govern as mayor and the decisions they make in office. This will give the community a chance to hear from the candidates, and hear them express what they believe in an appropriate forum.”
The forum begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Perhaps the candidates will speak of their proclivity to marrying their close relatives or their penchant for lynching black folks.
