I was REALLY (but at the same time not at all ) surprised at the inconsistencies in the interview. That he would actually say "in general we don't think it's a good idea to say who you voted for!" What? This from a man who represent hundreds of churches that FROM THE PULPIT (illegally) advocate for the republican party? <BR/><BR/>But I also agree with Jane. I am so excited about the movement and shift that Cizik has found. It gives me hope for this faith and the future of evangelical churches. I am just strongly disappointed that there are some who are trying their hardest to stop the shift.Kara Newbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852175959930969418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17607953.post-22334096035331094742008-12-14T21:02:00.000-05:002008-12-14T21:02:00.000-05:00I was amazed by how similar Cizik's worldview was ...I was amazed by how similar Cizik's worldview was to my own, because it seems that for the past few years I've been away from the evangelical community, while he's been right in the middle of it. How could we arrive at such a similar place on such different paths? What this seems to sugest to me is that God is really moving powerfully right now among Christians. It turns out that I wasn't the only one from an evangelical background that God spoke to insistently about a renewed vision. Cizik reports on how many young evangelicals care about the environment, poverty, and human rights, enough to go against what have been seen as traditional evangelical beliefs for the past 25 years. I wonder if I have as much in common with this generation of evangelicals as it seems, and if so, I wonder if in 15 years when they become the culture's leaders, I might find myself happily back in an evangelical church...Jane Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01924756195309502513noreply@blogger.com
