- US evangelicals aim to influence European law
  Posted by Jeff from Christian Science Monitor
  The Busekros case is emblematic of the growing effort by US Christian legal organizations to take the "culture wars" overseas. Pushing back against a perceived assault on their values by an increasingly secular society, the groups are striving to influence European law on issues ranging from home schooling to stem-cell research to gay marriage.

- » Who’s to blame for Pastor Haggard’s fall from grace? His fat, lazy wife.
  Posted by Jeff from Horse's Ass
  It is not uncommon to meet pastors’ wives who really let themselves go; they sometimes feel that because their husband is a pastor, he is therefore trapped into fidelity, which gives them cause for laziness. A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband’s sin, but she may not be helping him either.”

- Evangelicals start ad campaign to pressure Bush on Darfur
  Posted by Billbar from Rawstory
  Evangelical leaders, both progressive and conservative, are putting aside their religious and doctrinal differences to call on President George W. Bush to hold an immediate conference to discuss economic sanctions and the intervention of a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur.

- GOP's Hold on Evangelicals Weakening
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  The war in Iraq and the Rep. Foley mess are having an effect on evangelicals. A nationwide poll of 1,500 registered voters released yesterday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found that 57 percent of white evangelicals are inclined to vote for Republican congressional candidates in the midterm elections, a 21-point drop in support among this critical part of the GOP base. In 2004, white evangelical or born-again Christians made up a quarter of the electorate, and 78 percent of them voted Republican, according to exit polls. But some pollsters believe that evangelical support for the GOP peaked two years ago and that what has been called the "God gap" in politics is shrinking.
