I just wanted to quickly post to spread the word about the freshly released Evangelical Manifesto, which I just now had a chance to read. This is a fantastic, thought-provoking and convicting declaration from many of today’s Evangelical leaders on what it means (or should mean) to be an Evangelical Christian. I’d highly recommend checking it out — at 20 pages, it’s a quick read, and it definitely spurred me on to examine my own faith and actions. Regardless of whether you find yourself in agreement as I did, or think the whole thing is ridiculous, it’s definitely worth the read.
Here’s a thoughtful response to the manifesto from a philosophy professor at Calvin:
