Both men have held to conservative principles and have promoted Christian values. Both men have professed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. And yet, we (that is, Protestants) have consistently groaned in annoyance each time … Read more

From the we should’ve written about this already department… Christianity Today reached out to “evangelical leaders” to ask what the pro-life community can learn from the #BlackLivesMatter, and vice versa.
