CNN has not usually made it a priority to liberate Christians from negative stereotypes, but it's never too late to start. Anderson Cooper's report on the changing "breed" of Evangelicals mentions that Christians are beginning to focus on more salient issues than the old-time Evangelical concerns of gay-marriage and abortion. Now, Anderson reports, Christians focus on issues like AIDS, global warming, and hunger---far less controversial than their old favorites.
The shift is not a small event. It marks a fundamental transformation of the way Evangelicals look at the world. Their new focus is devoid of the murky morality surrounding abortion and gay-marriage. Hunger, aids, and global warming are surprisingly environmental: their old squabbles were surprisingly spiritual.
