There seems to be a shift from supporting militarism and morality based issues to supporting peace and social justice issues within the Christian evangelical community! Bill Barnwell is an Evangelical pastor from the "Antiwar Christian Right" and wrote an eye-opening Biblical exegesis about War, Christians and the State at http://www.lewrockwell.com/barnwell/barnwell41.html. I’m trying to print and pass out copies of this article to many of my Christian friends. Also, Rick Warren, who I haphazardly lambasted in a previous entry, infuriated many conservative evangelical Christians by inviting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill, to speak at the Global Summit on AIDS at his megachurch. "The fact is the evangelical realm of the church has failed in this area [AIDS aid]. They’ve put it off too long, they didn’t care," Warren told ABC News last year: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=2691952&page=1.
