If you watch Fox News, you will recognize Kirsten Powers, know that she is a thoughtful liberal analyst paid by Fox for her point of view and a pundit willing to criticize both sides of any particular question. I have been a big fan for years . . . in spite of her political "home."
And now, we have this news. She writes about her conversion in Christianity Today, here, a leading Christian publication representing all "sides" of the Christian perspective. She wrote the article back at the end of October, but somehow I missed it.
My only hope is that she does not become discouraged with the hypercritical nature of so many within the Evangelical Church. "They" can be brutal . . . . . I know from personal experience. Me? I have been kicked out of more churches than some of you have driven past, was forced into "retirement" after 14 years of public/paid ministry, and, yet, I still attend their services, fully aware that only Christ is perfect while his physical church is a mess.
God bless Kirsten in your new found faith.
To her, I write, "You have, now, added yourself to the knock-down, drag-out world of evangelical faith and politics. Your faith is personal, not corporate, and centered in a living Christ, not a perfect church. Hang in there."
