Evangelical Left and Right Come Together on Abortion Health Care Debate

John Fea   |  August 22, 2009 2 Comments

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council (Evangelical Right) and Jim Wallis of Sojourners (Evangelical Left) apparently agree on taking abortion off the table in the health care debate. While I think Perkins and Wallis probably agree on a lot of theological beliefs, I think this is the first time that these two evangelicals have agreed on anything related to social policy.

    I actually have no idea what Jim Wallis's theological beliefs are – I can't recall him ever speaking or writing about them.

    Russ: I guess I was assuming that Wallis and Perkins share similar beliefs in the resurrection, the divinity of Christ, the inspiration of the Bible, etc… You could easily make a case that they have more similarities than differences. Both claim to be evangelicals and I have heard Wallis sound pretty orthodox.
