At Messiah College, a small Christian school in Pennsylvania playing host to a bipartisan forum on faith and compassion, they have announced that both of the Democratic candidates for president -- Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- will take part in the April 13 forum in a state that will hold an all-important primary election just nine days later.

""Now more than ever, Americans motivated by faith are bridging ideological divides to address domestic and international poverty, global AIDS, climate change, abortion, genocide in Darfur, and human rights and torture,'' the sponsors of "The Compassion Forum" say.

"The Compassion Forum will provide the opportunity for candidates to discuss how their faith and moral convictions bear on their positions on these important issues,'' they say, with a cautionary note: "The Compassion Forum is not a debate. Each candidate will participate in a separate substantive conversation.''

They are still waiting to hear from Republican Sen. John McCain, who of course has nothing at stake in the Pennsylvania primaries.
