The division between evangelical elites and their un-woke constituencies is real.

A spanking new organization has formed among Southern Baptists to resist the incursion of critical race theory into the largest Protestant denomination in North America. Founders Ministries, an older organization, and an array of other evangelical watchdog websites, vlogs, and blogs share the same aim.

Other evangelical entities stand accused of capitulation to the contemporary social justice movement, including the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), the parachurch organization CRU, Christianity Today magazine, FullerTheological Seminary, and the popular evangelical website and conference movement The Gospel Coalition (TGC). Division between evangelical elites and self-consciously un-woke evangelicals has gone public and shows no signs of abating.

But are the targeted evangelical elites guilty as charged? Evidence to the contrary is available. Formally, they believe that the Bible is the word of God and the sole authority for Christian faith and practice, Jesus Christ is the lord and savior of the world, marriage is between one man and one woman, homosexual behavior is sin, and abortion is the killing of unborn human life.

This is such a worrying development for me as a Christian raised in these sorts of circles. I honestly don't know what to believe anymore regarding racial issues. I thought it was best to just let people believe what they wanted to on the topic as long as no one got into anything outright heretical (by our standards) or embraced some secular message on another topic. I really thought it was homosexuality that would separate the genuine Christians from people just trying to be woke. But this is different, especially since I was pretty sure many of the people now taking a more leftward stance on racial issues were generally seen as devout Christian leaders in the past. I'm hoping this can just be a topic both sides can agree to disagree upon, but I know that this is a very thorny issue and it unfortunately won't go away like covid and all the disagreements about whether or not the government is "oppressing" people by making them wear masks.
