WASHINGTON (RNS) Three dozen faith leaders Tuesday (Sept. 7) issued
a declaration denouncing anti-Muslim bigotry as the nation prepares to
mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at a time of inflamed religious
tensions.
The top Washington lobbyist for the National Association of Evangelicals, who had already faced criticism for his embrace of environmental activism, has resigned after signaling support for same-sex civil unions.
The National Association of Evangelicals has affirmed its stance on caring for the environment—indirectly rebuffing complaints that its vice president for governmental affairs is too engaged in environmental issues—and endorsed a statement condemning torture.
