Comments for Moral Minority: The Evangelical Left in an Age of Conservatism http://moralminoritybook.com The Evangelical Left in an Age of Conservatism Sun, 14 Apr 2013 01:32:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on George McGovern (1922-2012) by cynthia curran http://moralminoritybook.com/2012/10/22/george-mcgovern-1922-2012/#comment-1738 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 01:32:11 +0000 http://moralminoritybook.com/?p=643#comment-1738 Yet, Nixon did some progressive things like the EPA. Nixon had his problems but I think that both the modern left and right never gave the man a chance. A lot of Republicans dislike xas well and of course Reagan is a saint while Nixon is a villian for doing those liberal things.

There is no post-mortem Christianity going on at this church.

Also, how was the Holy Spirit able to do things in those early days without having electric guitars to set the mood and move the people?

]]> Comment on Why care so much what white evangelicals think? by Marty Troyer (The Peace Pastor) http://moralminoritybook.com/2013/02/26/why-care-so-much-what-white-evangelicals-think/#comment-1480 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:57:25 +0000 http://moralminoritybook.com/?p=833#comment-1480 Having just sat through a simulcast of an evangelical conference, The Justice Conference (one which, you would think would be on the progressive end of racial issues such as this), I’d say this continues to be a VERY important voice for evangelicals to hear from within. Their language betrayed them on several fronts that this really was, after all, another conference for white evangelicals who are getting their justice on.

Tim Keller’s “CenterChurch” I don’t think would take this position. Though I think he would understand that the right has/is being marginalized.

I’ll look forward to reading your article in Covenant Quarterly. I’d love to visit Bethel sometime. I hope it works out sometime.

As you note, Rees was rooted in the Holiness tradition (grew up Pilgrim Holiness, I believe, and spoke often at Keswick), so I’m not entirely sure whether he’d accept the label of Pietist, as so many other Covenant leaders did at the time and have to the present day. But the leading roles played by Dale Brown and Don Dayton perhaps more clearly suggest a Pietist influence at Chicago — they were in the process of popularizing that tradition’s history for Anglophone audiences. And as Brown later told it, Pietism and Anabaptism became a helpful dialectic for him – keeping all the elements of Shalom in balance. I’ve got an article on this coming out in Covenant Quarterly next year; see http://pietistschoolman.com/2011/07/27/anabaptist-and-pietist for a preview of the section on Brown. Deeply appreciative for the work you’re doing, and brainstorming ways to bring you to Bethel for a day or two…

I was a part of the Sojourner Community from 1976-1989. I am on your cover…. That is me behind Karen Grandberg-Michaelson with my hand on my forehead. Today I am a United Methodist Minister and pastor of Rising Hope Mission Church. A small congregation in a low-income section of Fairfax County, VA. Two-thirds of my congregations has been homeless and I am still fighting the good cause and bugging the local politicians.
