In summary, shared commitment to participating in God's project of reconciliation could be the "Center" that holds evangelical Christians together in the days to come. And if we combine that commitment with a commitment to engage those who disagree with us in conversation characterized by respect, generosity, and humility, I can envision, through the eyes of faith, a vibrant future for American Evangelicalism.
Author's Note: My website, http://www.respectfulconversation.net/, is devoted to encouraging and modeling respectful conversations concerning contentious issues about which Christians disagree; it is currently hosting an electronic conversation on the topic "Christian Faithfulness and Human Sexuality."
