The Evangelical Manifesto
Okay, I'll admit. When I first heard of the Evangelical Manifesto, I was a bit skeptical. Generally, when a group of people get together to create a document by committee, the results are less than inspiring. The media stories about the document did little to reassure me.
This evening, I decided to release my skepticism and read it. Having done so, I encourage you to do the same. I was especially struck by this passage:
The politicization of faith is never a sign of strength but of weakness. The saying is wise: "The first thing to say about politics is that politics is not the first thing."That's just a small part of this document. A blog post, frankly, can't do it justice - so again, I urge you to read it.The Evangelical soul is not for sale. It has already been bought at an infinite price.
