As a fundamentalist evangelical (Church of Christ) I am continually reminded by events such as this one that regardless of any doctrinal differences I may have with my Catholic brothers and sisters, in the real world our differences are minuscule when compared to the values we share and our view of what is politically moral All Glory and Praise to the Lamb that was slain

Thank you for that post. Ultimately, we are all for Christ and we are all fighting the same enemy. And to paraphrase the Saviour, "If they are not against us, then they are for us..."

Thank you for saying that. I have a lot of Evangelical friends and we have had no problems working together on common interests. I have found that "ecumenicism" or friendship among Christians of different denominations doesn't have to mean giving up most of what you believe in until you reach the lowest common denominator, which is what liberals mean by the word.

The abortion struggle, in particular, has shown us how much Catholics and Evangelicals have in common, and how much can be gained by working together in areas where we share common beliefs.

As a Catholic, you can't know how much your statement means to me, thanx.

As a brother in the Churches of Christ, I can honestly say that we are indeed an unheard group in this country. Yet, this is the time and place for that to change. Perhaps we should stop 'preaching to the choir' and begin to voice our opinion outside the sanctuary. Loud and Proud!!!
