From the article cited below (from Sojourners Sept/Oct 2003) , a question that seems to have escaped the comprehension of the religious right, and many others who would not normally identify so deeply with their theology, but have now become swept up in political us vs them….the automatic association of “Christian” with conservatism and Republicanism, and the “others” as “Liberals’ and so , it seems, “Democrats”.

In the meantime, American Christians will have to make some difficult choices. Will we stand in solidarity with the worldwide church, the international body of Christâ014or with our own American government?
