TOKEN TIMES <\/em>EVANGELICAL SPEAKS OUT<\/span>
\nCharles Marsh, an evangelical writing for The New York Times<\/em>, turns in an editorial<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We have increasingly isolated ourselves from the shared faith of the global Church, and there is no denying that our Faustian bargain for access and power has undermined the credibility of our moral and evangelistic witness in the world. The Hebrew prophets might call us to repentance, but repentance is a tough demand for a people utterly convinced of their righteousness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Thanks, Opus<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
