If so, sorry my funy bone was not working when I read it. If it was not a joke, I thought I should point out that we were talking about Evangelicals, not Evangelists.Chris Spinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737073474163949048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995398.post-1138305723016887482006-01-26T12:02:00.000-08:002006-01-26T12:02:00.000-08:00I always thought an evangelist was someone who tol...I always thought an evangelist was someone who told the good news of Christianity to others.<BR/><BR/>When did it become a right-wing left-wing thing?Igfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414964000668561652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995398.post-1138305682078178572006-01-26T12:01:00.000-08:002006-01-26T12:01:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Igfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414964000668561652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995398.post-1138210170400359882006-01-25T09:29:00.000-08:002006-01-25T09:29:00.000-08:00As I had indicated to you that evening, I actually...As I had indicated to you that evening, I actually had written down a very similar question to ask the panelists myself that evening. (For those who don't know, part of the reason for writing down the questions on cards was to ensure that time was not wasted by near-duplicate questions.)<BR/><BR/>Mine had a slightly different twist (which took more time to articulate, which is probably one reason they didn't go with it.... *sigh*) in that I specifically said that I know of several Christians who refuse to accept the label "Evangelical" because they do not want to be identified with "right-wing politics." Yet their theology is very much "evangelical" (if arguably left-leaning). This provided the basis for my question of how to reclaim the "evangelical" label. <I>As an aside, I'm reminded of comments by one of our co-workers yesterday regarding wordiness....</I><BR/><BR/>It seems to me to be a tragedy that we're forfeiting the label "evangelical" to the conservatives.Mark Baker-Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593390925694976101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995398.post-1137868466040152642006-01-21T10:34:00.000-08:002006-01-21T10:34:00.000-08:00I read this little page article this morning from ...I read this little page article this morning from the NYtimes.<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/20/opinion/20marsh.html?incamp=article_popular_1<BR/>It doesn't really answer anything to profound - just good thoughts and reminders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
