The Flag in the Whirlwind: An Update from CT’s President
Why our editor in chief spoke out against Trump, and why the conversation must continue.
Timothy Dalrymple December 22, 2019
Après le récent éditorial de Marc Galli dans Christianity Today (cf. la rubrique "News"), et le raidissement d'une foule de leaders évangéliques contre lui, la revue publie un autre éditorial – de son directeur cette fois – qui appelle au libre dialogue, tout en confirmant la position de Galli: le soutien obstiné d'un pan du monde évangélique à l'administration Trump a jeté le discrédit sur le témoignage chrétien.

"Out of love for Jesus and his church, not for political partisanship or intellectual elitism, this is why we feel compelled to say that the alliance of American evangelicalism with this presidency has wrought enormous damage to Christian witness. It has alienated many of our children and grandchildren. It has harmed African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American brothers and sisters. And it has undercut the efforts of countless missionaries who labor in the far fields of the Lord. While the Trump administration may be well regarded in some countries, in many more the perception of wholesale evangelical support for the administration has made toxic the reputation of the Bride of Christ."
