Evangelical document tries to present more nuanced social position: A landmark statement
In a self-defining paper for the broad spectrum of U.S. evangelicals, a landmark document nearing completion warns against close alignment with one political party and endorses government-aided social policies that are fair and just for all.
While saying patriotism is commendable, the statement also says Christians “must be careful to avoid the excesses of nationalism.” The document was three years in the making under the aegis of the National Association of Evangelicals.
