ブライアン・マクラレンのヘルスケアに関する保守派クリスチャンへのオープンレター

Dear Friends,

Although today I would not call myself a political or social conservative, I am grateful for my heritage as an evangelical Christian: My faith is rooted in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, I honor and seek to live in harmony with the scriptures, and I love to share the good news of God’s love with others. Since my teenage years when I decided to follow Jesus, I have pursued wholehearted discipleship, and my life has been shaped by that commitment. After completing graduate school and teaching college English, I became a church planter and pastor and served in the same congregation for 24 years.

But for almost that many years, I have been growing more and more deeply troubled by the way so many from my heritage in conservative Christianity -- in its evangelical, charismatic, and Roman Catholic streams -- have allowed themselves to be spiritually formed by various conservative political and economic ideologies. It’s been disturbing to see how many Christians have begun to follow and trust leaders who live more by political/media/ideological codes than by moral/spiritual/biblical ones.

 さすがはブライアン・マクラレン。私も同じ思いです。今朝も同じSGの仲間から、オバマバッシングのチェーンメールが回ってきて、悲しくなっていた私でした… (彼のポジションに賛成するにしても反対するにしても、この国のリーダーである彼のために真剣にとりなしをしているなら、バッシングのチェーンメールなど回さないと思うんだけどな…悲)
