Charles Yu, a pastor on the staff of Madison’s Blackhawk Church, is among a broadly diverse group of Christian leaders featured by the National Association of Evangelicals in a video which explains that evangelical is a religious term and not a political term.
An email from NAE explains:
Political, social and cultural trends have changed the public perception of evangelicalism, particularly in the United States. Many people now assume that evangelicals are white, American and Republican. While some evangelicals are those things, millions of self-identified evangelicals are not.
This new video from the National Association of Evangelicals addresses what it means to be an evangelical, showcasing the rich diversity within the faith community. Beyond a set of beliefs that unify evangelicals, evangelicals move outward seeking renewal in our world through the work of the Holy Spirit.
