Red Letter Christians To The Rescue?

Down With Sola Scriptura

Now that the Rick Warren whirlwind of controversy has shaken both political conservatives and liberals, what might emerge out of this storm?

As more states lean toward legalizing same sex marriages, certainly a new breed of public square "Christian" must rise out of the ashes of the flip-flopping of America's Pastor.

Enter the Red Letter Christians. RLC leader Tony Campolo is famous for his acceptance of homosexuality. Joseph Farah of World Net Daily writes:

Tony Campolo, the godfather of the so-called "Red Letter Christians," seems to be a little confused on the subject of same-sex marriage...Here's what he wrote in "Red Letter Christians." You be the judge.

"Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state. Of course, homosexual couples could go to churches that welcome and affirm gay marriage and get their unions blessed there, but isn't that the way it should be in a nation that guarantees people the right to promotion religion according to their personal convictions?"

Campolo wore his support around his neck in the form of a rainbow-colored stole at the 2008 New Baptist Covenant meeting. From Indy Week.com:

Campolo joined others at the gathering who wore rainbow-colored stoles as a sign of solidarity with gays and lesbians. Campolo said he wanted to let them know "we were aware that they were there, and we loved them and accept them as brothers and sisters in Christ."

Time will soon reveal to whom the public square "Christian" baton will be passed. The Red Letter Christians may even get a little help from their friends from the Emergent church movement.
