This article in Atlantic outlines how the political fault lines across our culture have made their way inside our churches. Scott Dudley, senior pastor at Bellevue Presbyterian church, is just one voice of experience we hear from. “Many people are much more committed to their politics than to what the Bible actually says,” Dudley said. “We have failed not only to teach people the whole of scripture, but we have also failed to help them think biblically. We have failed to teach them that sometimes scripture is most useful when it doesn’t say what we want it to say, because then it is correcting us.” Dudley notes that he has heard of people leaving a church because it doesn’t align with their politics but has never heard of someone changing their politics because they did not align with their church’s teaching.
