The US National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and World Relief have published a short sign-on statement calling for repentance, renewal, and resolve.
NAE president Walter Kim says: ‘We are in a season in which the evangelical faith is being narrowly defined and misunderstood by many, with long-term ramifications for our gospel witness. We seek to present a thoughtful, humble, Biblically-grounded statement of our identity that we pray will function as a light shining on a hill to a watching world, to the glory of our Father in heaven.’
The statement focuses on eight broad issues of moral importance that are rooted in Biblical convictions: protecting religious freedom, safeguarding the sanctity of life, strengthening families, seeking justice for the poor and vulnerable, preserving human rights, pursuing racial justice, restraining violence, and caring for God’s creation.
