Although there has not yet been an official announcement, word is leaking out about who else President Obama has selected to fill the remaining 10 seats on his Advisory Council for the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. So far, we know that Christian author and hero to under-35 evangelicals Donald Miller has been tapped for one spot. U.S. News and World Report says that former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy has been slated for another spot. Miller, who campaigned for Obama and delivered a benediction at the Democratic National Convention, is well-known to young evangelicals. His book Blue Like Jazz is distributed to college students through the evangelizing powerhouse Campus Crusade for Christ, and is said to address ambiguity and conflict between evangelicalism and modern life. Since winning the Super Bowl, Dungy has become a spokesperson for victory in life (and sports!) via faith. A football-themed version of the New Testament, Path to Victory, published by the International Bible Society and bearing Dungy's name, has been distributed to thousands of Americans as an accompaniment to home-delivered newspapers. Didn't want a Bible with your Sunday paper? Too bad. That's two more men, and two more evangelicals. Eight more slots to go to represent a cross-section of American religion. --Sarah Posner
