Sorry if my wording was confusing. I didn’t mean to call Cizik (or anyone else in particular) a lackey.

Thanks,

I agree with you that the lines of the abortion issue are more clearly drawn for those with a Christian worldview. None should abandon the cause or de-emphasize its urgency because of political considerations.

That said, however, I am surprised that you are suggesting that Cizik and NAE are “lackeys” (witting or unwitting) of the Democratic party’s agenda. To my knowledge, NAE has not switched sides on abortion or gay marriage. Cizik has simply seized an opportunity to work with rather than against a movement that has rapidly gained attention and urgency in secular culture. Evangelical Christians have much to contribute on this issue and need to be heard so that the debate is not entirely framed either by nature-worshippers on the one hand or profit-worshippers on the other. What exactly is wrong with that?

You go much further than Dobson or even Don Wildmon in your very cynical accusations against Rev. Cizik. Should this not give you pause considering that he is also a brother in Christ?
