Today’s moderator: Tom Sabulis
A 20-year veteran of the AJC, Tom Sabulis has covered news, politics and the arts during a career that has taken him to newspapers across the country. Since 2008, he has coordinated many of the newspaper’s pro/con debates and first-person guest columns.
Gov. Nathan Deal recently signed into law legislation that expands the list of places where Georgians can legally carry firearms, including schools, bars and government buildings. Today, we present arguments for and against guns in church sanctuaries. The pro-guns essay comes from the pastor of a small 90-member church. The anti-guns column comes from the pastor of Atlanta’s Central Presbyterian and one of more than 200 religious leaders in Georgia, including Catholic Archbishop Wilton Gregory and Rabbi Peter Berg of The Temple synagogue in Atlanta, who oppose the law.
