Evangelicals Do the Right Thing

At the link below you will find an article which describes a new document adopted by the National Association of Evangelicals. The document expresses opposition to the Bush administration policy on torture and is based on the work of numerous evangelical scholars.

This document is further proof that the evangelical movement is no longer walking in lockstep with the current occupant of the White House. Although the effect on musicians may not be immediately apparent, it is clear that any stepping away from hard-right policies represents an opening for persons interested in the development of Christian souls through the arts. To explain this would take more time than I now have. However, over the course of the coming weeks I hope to give evidence for this assertion. At the same time, I believe events will demonstrate how the loosening of the grip of this administration and its previous backers upon the American psyche will indeed encourage a certain new creative energy, an energy which will prove fruitful for the American and world church.
