Christian Political Shifts in the Wind?

David Brooks of the New York Times has an interesting Op-Ed piece here on the increasing willingness of many evangelical Christians and political liberals to join forces on social justice issues such as care for the poor. I hope that Brooks is correct that many evangelicals are broadening their political vision to seek and looking to apply their faith to a wider range of problems and issues facing the world today. A deeper Christian involvement in helping the poor and downtrodden, if done with wisdom, serves to show the love of Christ to an unbelieving world. You can read the article HERE if you have signed up for the free Times version on the web.
