Defining evangelical
Leaders of the "Evangelical Manifesto," headed by Christian writer and commentator Os Guinness, went public with a defining document signed by 75 Christian leaders at the National Press Club May 7.
"When scholars and writers can look at the evangelical political movement and describe them as theocrats, or, worse, as fascists, something is badly wrong," Guinness said to a small gathering of the press.
Public-relations consultant Larry Ross; John Huffman, chairman of Christianity Today International; Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary; and David Neff, editor in chief of Christianity Today, joined Guinness as representatives of a nine-member steering committee that put together the three main goals of the manifesto: to reaffirm "evangelical" as a theological position first and foremost, to reform areas in which evangelicals have made mistakes, and to reposition evangelicalism as a movement committed to issues of justice and compassion.
