A Challenge To My Fellow Evangelicals

  1. Only in the United States is climate change a controversial and politicized issue. Evangelicals in 129 countries support their government’s efforts to face this challenge.
  2. Evangelicals in other countries do not consider a national healthcare system as a controversial issue and, in fact, see it as highly desirable.
  3. One of the highest priorities for a majority of evangelicals around the world is for their governments to combat poverty and hunger, improve public education and provide clean water for ALL citizens, even if this means paying more taxes.
  4. Evangelicals from other countries want to see their government buy fewer weapons and invest in economic development and peace initiatives.
  5. Globally, evangelicals disapprove of torture being used by their governments in any form.
  6. A majority of evangelicals around the world view capital punishment as barbaric.

.. Our evangelical brothers and sisters around the world cannot understand how or why the majority of American evangelicals support Donald Trump. They have coined a new word, American ideo-evangelicals, to describe those in the U.S. who are voting more for their political ideology than for their faith values.

.. Evangelicals from all regions, but particularly in Africa, consider Hillary Clinton a “sister in Christ” and someone who lives out the Golden Rule in all the good she has done for women and children. Many affectionately call her “Sister Hillary.”
