First, a great quote
"The lack of tension between any particular Christian community and any particular political orientation should be taken as a dangerous sign of a potentially compromised witness."
and also
"I was reminded of the "redeemer nation" vs. "Redeemer's church" distinction last summer, as I attended an evangelical worship service with my family. The music morphed from a praise chorus to a patriotic anthem and back, complete with an American flag waving on the big screens. Having grown up in evangelical circles, this hardly fazed me, but my 11 year-old daughter shot me a confused look to signal that something had gone terribly awry in her view. Having grown up Catholic, she has no experience with a "redeemer nation." I will maintain that evangelicals have many things they can teach Catholics, but the more-than-occasional blending of patriotism and worship is not one of them."
