Joel Hunter was recently named the president of the Christian Coalition and then stepped down after a few weeks because of a difference in priorities. Joel wanted to expand the scope of the organization to include issues like poverty and the environment. The Coalition said these issues are good issues, but they're not our issues. Typically, the Christian Coalition mainly supports marriage and pro life issues. There are more than just two or three political issues. I don't consider myself a hardcore political person, but hearing something like that makes me sad. The Christian Coalition and people in general should support needy/sick people and protecting the earth. I hope other political organizations don't draw the conclusion that Christians are not concerned with these issues.
