You wouldn't believe how bad things are among Asian Christian teachings. In 2003, I remember seeing a sermon recording from a Pastor Lau based in a Chinese-speaking church in the US. He was very ambivalent about war on terror and I think the only concession he made was that "If you are a US citizen or a permanent resident and the US government calls you to serve in the military, then you should go." This is about as close to supporting WOT from Chinese-speaking pastors, and only because he is based in the US!

Pastors in Asia, eg Pastor M.H. Cheung pastor of Kowloon City Baptist Church in Hong Kong, are far more openly against the war and Bush. Pastor Cheung bashed Bush openly in sermons he delivered when in Hong Kong ( http://www.baptist.org.hk ).

Wow!

That's kind of sad.

I hope you will be encouraged to know that, 25 years ago, THE VAST MAJORITY of born again Christians in this country were CLUELESS about politics.

I remember visiting a church where the pastor is now a fire-breathing patriot of the first order and gets it completely when it comes to politics.

But back in 1992 when I visited his fellowship the week after the Democratic National Convention, he was saying stuff about Clinton like - 'Hmmm...a new face...Looks like he's got a good chance.'

I was embarrassedly (for him!) at how politically ignorant he was.

His church's basic philosophy at the time was 'Pray and God will tell you who to vote for.'

Well, I'm happy to report that, in recent years, they've been giving God a LOT OF HELP in educating their members about where each party is coming from when it comes to issues that affect the Body of Christ :)
