This article is by Michael Milton, a Presbyterian Church in America pastor and the chancellor of Reformed Theological Seminary, defending Christians participating in politics. It seems like a useful argument against the “Radical Two Kingdoms” or R2K viewpoint.
I think most Freepers will agree with the main points of the article and it will be especially helpful to Calvinists who are having to fight “Radical Two Kingdoms” views in our churches.
There is one point, however — many of us won't like his citation of Martin Luther King. Please don't let that turn you off to the entire article.
Dr. Milton's point is not to defend King's views but rather to point out to liberals that they are very inconsistent in affirming King's right to participate in politics but opposing conservative pastors when they do the same. He also points out the role of a black African archbishop who has helped North American conservative Episcopalians being abused by their liberal white priests and bishops.
Let's just remember that PCA ministers in the South, due to their history of being the heirs of men like Dabney and Thornwell, need to be especially careful to make clear they are not racists.
Let me get this straight.
PCA good.
PCUSA bad.
Is that right?
Thanks for the ping!

Blah blah blah....Let us ask Rev Wright or MLK or Rev Jackson or Al Sharpton what they think. What a bunch of BS. It is no wonder today’s church is in such disarray and every bit as PC and spineless as the GOP leadership
