Christianity Today’s call for Trump’s removal offers a moment of potential reflection for today’s Christians GlobeDebate
Well, this is quite the Christmas surprise. Christianity Today – perhaps the most influential publication in the evangelical world and described by The Washington Post as “evangelicalism’s flagship magazine” – has called for U.S. President Donald Trump to be removed from office.
It went on to address the evangelical world’s overwhelming support of the now impeached President. “Trump’s evangelical supporters have pointed to his Supreme Court nominees, his defence of religious liberty, and his stewardship of the economy, among other things, as achievements that justify their support of the President," but “to the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve.
Prodigal son Franklin Graham has already made his opinion clear about the editorial. “My father would be embarrassed. It is not going to change anybody’s mind about Trump,” he said. “There’s a liberal element within the evangelical movement. Christianity Today represents that.” His friend the President tweeted that the magazine was “far left” and “would rather have a Radical Left non-believer, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President.” Mr. Trump is, as usual, severely ill-informed and hysterical. What makes this editorial so extraordinary is that Christianity Today routinely stays clear of party politics; it has been criticized by many Christians for being too passive under the Trump administration.
