Remembering evangelicals for Iraq

WASHINGTON (ABP) -- Beginning with ancient Christians martyred by the Roman Empire and running through Thomas Becket, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and beyond, church leaders often have spoken truth to the secular powers -- regardless of the consequences.

But in the months leading up to the now-unpopular Iraq war, did the United States’ powerful conservative evangelical community step away from its responsibility to speak hard truths to the government?

That is a question the Associated Baptist Press, the AP of evangelicalism, asks in an article headlined, "War and peace: Did evangelicals' support for Iraq invasion damage credibility?" (Via DMN religion blog)
