| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.1 | Well one of the biggest movements in the Christian Church and among conservatives in the |

| 0:29.3 | And so one of the most important of these developments has been the rise of classical |
