End of Evangelicalism

For those of us who think 'gay marriage' is a contradiction in terms, it appears we may need to define a new glossary of terms to define and describe our views, values and beliefs.

Extrapolate this to the 'faith once delivered unto the saints'.

Liberal religious leaders like Jim Wallis are aggessively re-defining the theological dictionary.

Evangelicalism Continues to Move Left - Jan Markell

"I asked the students if they wanted to be 'true evangelicals'" (referring to Luke 4 and the reference of bringing the good news to the poor.) The implication here is that if it doesn't follow the social gospel it cannot be good news.

Wallis seems to minimize the moral values of the "religious right" such as abortion and gay marriage while emphasizing issues he feels are greater causes today: Poverty, global warming, human rights, ethics of war in Iraq, and more. Wallis said that the value of human life cannot just be seen in the abortion issue without also addressing issues of the poor.

After a standing ovation by the students who were overflowing in the chapel hall, Wallis says, "It didn't feel like a standing ovation but rather an altar call, with students standing to say they want their faith and lives to make a difference in our world." I ask if evangelical colleges and seminaries are cranking out pastors with this view, what will the church look like in ten years?
