The man arrested in this instance is a Baptist, or at least taught at a Baptist college. Jerry Falwell is in critical condition; Billy Graham's health is poor. James Dobson has been very vocal in his support of Terri Schaivo and the Schindlers. Leading lights in the pro-Terri Schiavo camp who have been very visible publicly are Randall Terry, a Calvinist right to life activist, and Jay Sekulow, a charismatic attorney. Both Pat Robertson, a charismatic minister, and D. James Kennedy, a Reformed minister (PCA), are Christian Right leaders who have been vocal in their support of her right to live.

Could the evangelical community do more? Yes, and they should. However, it is very wrong to assert that they have been absent.

I know some of them have spoken out againt the government sponsored starvation of Terri Schiavo, but that's hardly enough, and it's nothing near what they have the potential to do.

These evangelical leaders have been conspicuously absent from rallying the troops and getting behind Terri Schiavo in large numbers, something they can really shine at when motivated to do so. I don't see it happening for Terri Schiavo.
