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.

I applaud the growing commitment of Evangelicals to the needs of the poor and oppressed in urban America.

While attendance at traditional churches has been declining for decades... the evangelical movement is growing, and it is changing the way America worships.

In particular, the emerging call from our nation's evangelicals to protect God's creation is substantial.

I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God.

The evangelical movement has become just a bit victimized by a success-oriented culture, wanting the church - like the corporation - to be successful.

It is an absolutely unique success of the church community to have introduced such an epoch-making change, in just a few years, without having a serious division.

I'm evangelical.

Our theology is still in a time of crisis, and I think this will last for some years more.

It's hard to pin down what it means to be an evangelical today. It's been diluted quite a bit. It is a powerful voting bloc, no question, but they're liberal as well as conservative - and they're made of Latinos, blacks, whites.
