Yesterday I was reading the St. Louis Post and read an interesting editorial on Evangelicals. At some point, we should probably discuss what an Evangelical is and what it isn't. But that is for another class and another post. The link to the editorial is here:

I thought the editorial might open up some thoughts on how Christians are often stereotyped and placed into a liberal or conservative box. For those of us subscribing to the blog and attending the CIC class, I think we should resist being categorized in such a narrow way. The fact is, our ethics should be guided by the principles of Christ. That means that we will often be difficult to categorize. We should consistently be the voice of the voiceless. We should be focused on poverty and its eradication. But we will also have strong feelings on moral issues. Some will feel that their opinions are not well-represented by either party.
Enjoy the article. May each of you have a blessed day.
