Face to Faith - by Mark Pinsky
When not amused, Europeans are mostly baffled by the political ascendancy of American evangelical Christians. It must appear a misplaced, spasmodic peasant rebellion from a distant century: mobs with pitchforks and torches storming the bastions of power and taking over a modern democracy.As the US approaches the November mid-term Congressional elections a major question looms. Did the 2004 election of George Bush, a born again, politically fortunate son, represent the high water mark of evangelical influence in the White House and on America's political system? If so, will this success come at a price? Are Southern swing voters, including evangelicals, tiring of Christian conservatives throwing their weight around?
