I'm evangelical on the subject of some chefs and writers.

Although they are unfailingly gracious, evangelicals are not so good at respecting professional boundaries.

I am a bit odd. I am somewhat evangelical. But I am not crazy.

If you'd have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn't know what you were talking about. And then, they'd be against it.

An evangelical is somebody who, first of all, has a very high view of Scripture, believes it's an infallible message from God.

Part of the reason I am so evangelical in our campaigning work is that I had an unshakeable faith in Labour values, but we needed a machine worthy of the message. I grew up with a peerless Conservative machine, with vastly superior resources.

Evangelicals can't be closely identified with any particular party or person. We have to stand in the middle, to preach to all the people, right and left.

You can't be evangelical and associate yourself with Jesus and what he says about the poor and just have no other domestic concerns than tax cuts for wealthy people.

I embrace the term 'evangelical,' if by that we mean a belief that we together can actually work for change in the world, caring for the environment, extending to the poor generosity and kindness, a hopeful outlook. That's a beautiful sort of thing.
