For years, the religious right has focused obsessively on restricting abortion rights, electing Republicans and demonizing gays. In the process, they've painted themselves as a rather un-Christian lot.
But there is good news out of the recent Southern Baptist Convention and from the National Association of Evangelicals. Apparently a few of them started reading the New Testament again and figured out that Christ was far more concerned about another issue- poverty.
At long last, the religious right is responding to that call and working to alleviate world poverty.

Thank you for doing the reading I don't have time to do. I am very encouraged by your clip on the Southern Baptist Convention's turnaround (or turn-a-little-around). It is great to be kept up to date on happenings that don't get the press they deserve.
