This article was reprinted in the Hartford Courant from the Washington Post. It is excellent both in content and in spirit. We need to realize that those who follow the values of the Bible are now more clearly than ever a minority culture in our own country. Moore’s challenge to the church to take its role of living its values with integrity more seriously is right on.
A corollary to this idea is that we need to cooperate more closely in the public sphere with Catholics and mainline Mormons whose family values are the same as those of conservative Protestants because they are drawn from the Bible.
