When I first met the late Ken Campbell (he went to be with the Lord and with his beloved wife, Norma, August 28) he was persona non grata with many evangelical Christians.
I've never been a big fan of Ann Coulter. I've always found her public statements aggressive and deliberately abrasive. But I'm reading her newest book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism with great relish… sometimes accompanied by uncontrollable bursts of laughter.
Yesterday I was contacted-once by phone and once by e-mail-by two Canadian Christians whose separate statements, taken together, may reveal the core reason why the church is unable to influence public policy: many times we'd rather be 'nice' than risk doing the right thing.
