Onward Christian Activists

For those with an interest in the pig's breakfast that is American Evangelicalism, you might want to read a slice of its history (and politics) here.

It is a very small slice, and it's unfortunate that Dr. Mouw can't be a little less superficial about the issues in play, but I think we all know better than to expect more from Christianity Today.

Wouldn't it be fascinating to go through the correspondence of CT's editors and trace the movement's failures on this point right up to the Manhattan Declaration, which by the way, as of 5:54 this morning, had only 412,931 signatures in support. A pitiful number of signatures out of a desired million.

There is no published count of the number who signed and then withdrew their signatures, but you might want to follow that line of inquiry over at Pyro.

Once again Evangelicals stumble into the Public Square, stare into the bright lights, tap the microphone, take out their note cards and embarrass themselves.

So not like a mighty army...
