“Evangelicals simply cannot be identified immediately with the political right. Non-
Anglican Protestants in Britain were long aligned with the political Left, and Australia’s
left-wing parties have also enjoyed a measure of evangelical support. Canada’s major
left-wing political organization, the New Democratic Party, came to prominence under
the leadership of a Baptist pastor, Tommy Douglas.”

“CRT poses, in essence, a sharply pointed question. What, really, were the chances that the white, propertied men of the early American Republic would set up a judicial and political and economic system that didn’t privilege...white, propertied men? Critical Theorists would say those chances would be, approximately, . . . zero.”

“Especially in the cause of mission, Christians must be sensitive to language—every bit as much as foreign missionaries must be sensitive to language in their crosscultural contexts. How do we hope to win the attention and appreciation of others if we offend them on secondary issues? So keeping up with trends in polite (or “correct”) speech isn’t merely to be trendy. It might be just considerate.”

“Conservative” should not be used as a synonym for “evangelical.” Evangelicals have

gets the job done.”
