Our civic responsibility
Today in my MIS class, we discussed the NAE's statement For the Health of the Nation. This document is a call to evangelicals to get off their butts and get involved in our society. For a good analysis of it, see the extensive review at Mark D. Roberts blog site.
The reason I have my MIS class read this document is to get them thinking about our responsibility as Christians to those who are less fortunate and specifically to those who are on the other side of the digital divide. In our discussion today, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the well-thought out responses, both in support of the statement and not supporting it. For the most part, those that did not support it thought it was too vague; those supporting it appreciated the fact that it made them think and it was, at the very least, an attempt at unifying evangelicals together for a larger purpose. ¶ 9:29 PM 0 comments
