Thanks for posting this article. I learned some things I didn't know about evangelical history even though I was raised Protestant.

I think Olson's right that we face numerous common challenges. The question for me is will both sides ever stop throwing stones long enough to unite as brothers and sisters in the Lord? We don't have to agree on theology to unite for the common good of our nation, do we?

I was surprised when I read this: "Evangelicals today have enormous respect for Roman Catholics." Outside of nonCatholic family members, I don't see that too much. Online I rarely see it.

Makes no sense to me that folks who claim to love God feel a need to insult each other. I don't appreciate it when either side does it. This thread will probably descend into a stone throwing contest so I'll just shut up now and close with this link. What Does the Bible Say About Insults?

I would suggest that one’s love of God might sometimes be obscured by love of government dollars. See www.networklobby.org/news-media/federal-funding-catholic-organizations

And way too many so called evangelicals just want to join them at the trough.
