An interesting article with some perceptive comments.  Not very many are ridiculous, airy or pie in the sky.  If these folks are representative there’s a shift from 1950s Christianity to one which more reflects the world today.

This isn’t the most typical comment.  Long words, lots of syllables, saying absolutely nothing.  Christian churches have had the “opportunity” to demonstrate “grace, love, reconciliation and healing” and still support war and more wars.

“America’s born-again community will have an opportunity to contextualize an alternative narrative to the polarizing elements from both the right and the left by reconciling the righteousness message of Billy Graham with the justice platform of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. By offering compassionate, truth-filled solutions and focusing on the message of grace, love, reconciliation and healing, evangelicals will demonstrate that the greatest agenda stems neither from the donkey nor the elephant but rather from the lamb.”

Eloquently inane, worthy of a G-14 bureaucrat, offering nothing of substance, tired banalities in bigger words.  One of the bigger losses in my life was to realize the Christian Church offers none of those things.  (Another one was to realize the US didn’t, either.)

But my ranting aside, it’s an interesting article.  One person even takes on Harold Camp, poor ol’ Harold, as if he hasn’t bee beaten half to death anyway.
