Glenn Beck is a nationally syndicated political talk show host and CNN news commentator (reportedly moving to Fox News this year) and the author of the New York Times #1 bestselling book, “The Christmas Sweater.” He is also a Mormon. Focus on the Family recently posted an interview with Glenn about this book conducted by a freelance journalist on their Citizen Link website, but they later removed the article in response to complaints that an Evangelical organization should not be endorsing the work of an LDS member. Were they correct for this decision? But what about the larger issue of when and if to allow alliances between Evangelical Christians and members of religions with which we disagree either partially or wholly? What sort of compromises should we (or shouldn’t we) be willing to make in advancing our cultural agenda in a doctrinally pluralistic society?Links - Focus on the Family and Glenn Beck:
