Church Diplomacy Shifts Across Liberal Conservative Lines
AP Religion Writer George W Cornell notes a reshaping of American church diplomacy with liberals and conservatives mixing roles. Fundamentalists grow in public life while liberal Catholics and Protestants mobilize against leftward ecumenism, criticizing U S bishops and mainline bodies like the National Council of Churches for perceived leftism and secular alignments. The Institute for Religion and Democracy accuses mainline leaders of betraying liberal tradition and tolerating Soviet oppression while dwelling on U S failings, linking faith to American freedom and rights.
