'Differences between being an Evangelical and being a Republican'

Monday, May 16, 2005
An excellent reflection on the role of Christianity and its relation to political loyalties from Joe Carter at the evangelical outpost. The key conclusion: “As a fellow traveler of the GOP, I find myself walking side by side with the party toward the same goals. But at other times our paths will diverge and I must follow where my conscience as a Christian conservative leads me. After all, to stand with Christ means that I can’t always stand with the Republican Party.”

Some of my thoughts on “partisan Christianity” are available here.

  1. Christian vs. Republican

    In recent years, Christian conservatives have firmly aligned themselves in large numbers with the Republican Party. As a former registered Democrat, I know I have. But is that necessarily a good thing? . . .

    Christian becomes Republican;

    Water runs down hill,it’s natural.
    When the Republican party stops reflecting
    christian values,it to will began to lose
    elections. It’s a good thing.(to be a rep.)
    The Republican party will never become your
    local church,but where would it be today
    without the local chuch.
