Thanks to Ron S. for sharing this article with me. Carol Howard Merritt, author, pastor and co-host of God Complex Radio, writes “It is clear that [progressive Christians’]decades of irrelevancy are over now. The last election showed the decline of the Religious Right’s power. Not only that, but the mute button is off. We can begin to hear progressive Christian voices, whether they come from those who grew up Evangelical and are now rejecting the views of their youth or they have been working for justice all along. And we can now claim that our work has been hard, but it has not been in vain.”
