Evangelical Call to Civic Responsibility

The Board of Directors of the National Association of Evangelicals recently adopted a document calling for the reengagement of evangelical Christians with public policy matters. The following paragraph is from the Preamble:

Evangelical Christians in America face a historic opportunity. We make up fully one quarter of all voters in the most powerful nation in history. Never before has God given American evangelicals such an awesome opportunity to shape public policy in ways that could contribute to the well-being of the entire world. Disengagement is not an option. We must seek God’s face for biblical faithfulness and abundant wisdom to rise to this unique challenge.
