"We use that word Christian to refer to people who are evangelical Christians" In that case I want the word back. I serve the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch, "where the disciples were first called Christians," as a humble subdeacon. It's our name, and Dobson has no right to narrow its meaning to a particular species of protestant, thereby excluding those the name Christian originally belonged to, many of whom have died for Christ under persecutions by Roman pagans and Muslims (and in other patriarchates, Communists).
