The Red Letter Christians, a "progressive" group, says it offers an alternative to the religious right in the discussion about moral values in American politics. The liberal group claims Christian conservatives focus too heavily on abortion and homosexuality.
"Since the 2004 election, the term 'values voters' has become a mainstay of the political discussion, and we're hearing it again this fall. But the discussion has generally been very narrow and discusses particularly one specific type of voter -- a conservative, white, evangelical, Republican," said Rev. Jim Wallis, founder and editor of Sojourners Magazine, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Monday.
"I would say most voters are values voters," Wallis said, but added that until now, there has been only one voice for the religious community. "The monologue of the religious right is ending," he claimed.

And what do you think of this group's postion?
Take from some in order to give to others & other gnarly stuff that goes against the concept of free will.
...and abortionists and homos focus too much on bashing Christian conservatives. Typical double standard.
Ever notice how Jim Wallis is always involved?

Same old blah blah blah. Whatever.
Was just browsing Hasting's for Joel C Rosenberg's new Nonfiction:
EPICENTER: WHY CURRENT RUMBLINGS IN THE MIDDLE EAST WILL CHANGE YOUR FUTURE
And found maybe 8+ books VERY HOSTILE TO CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES as though CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES are destroying the Republic; freedom and the world.
I can't believe that that many such books just sprang out of passionate writer's idle musings. Seems like a planned onslaught to me. Anyone else noticed such?
Any thoughts?
There are no liberal/moderate Christians... only faux Christians embrace that ideology. "kerry Christians", so to speak.
LLS
Campolo and Wallis, the Judas spawn.
As said by others here, if a gay gene is discovered all bets are off on both issues.
"Conservatives Blamed for Focus on Abortion, Homosexuality"
I'll plead guilty to that.
"Conservatives Blamed for Focus on Abortion, Homosexuality"
I'll plead guilty to that.
Lets see, the PC USA, a "progressive" Christian denomination has substituted "mother, child and womb" for The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I'll take my chances with Traditional Christianity, thanks.
As usual, the left has to lie and misdirect. It can't ever be honest about it's positions.
Does anyone else notice the name? "Red" letter Christians?
I mean, all Christians know the red letter version, but is this a subtle subliminal way to make people think they share "red state" values?
It's sort of like "People for the American Way". They name themselves something to confuse the unaware.
This group is first and formost a political group deeply committed to the Democratic party. Their reason for existence is to somehow justify to themselves and, hopefully, to a gullible nation as well, their support for the murder of innocent children and the practice of perversion in light of their claim to the Christian name. If only their commitment to Jesus Christ were as deep and unshakable as their commitment to the Democratic party.
