National Council of Churches General Sec'y: Jesus says no Fox News
Written By mista sense on Monday, June 26, 2006 | 6:50 AM
Dr. Bob Edgar, general secretary of the National Council of Churches and a former Congressman, addressed 400 moderate Baptists at a lunch on Thursday and said that Fox News presents a "challenge" to Christians:
Dr. Edgar told the assembled pastors that God calls all Christians to learn how to walk together “in the footsteps of Jesus,” actively leading today’s world to affirm values that Jesus taught and practiced, while addressing the challenges of “fear, fundamentalism, and Fox News”.
It seems to me that the attention-getting phrase "fear, fundamentalism and Fox News" is more of a PR strategy for Dr. Edgar's speech than a true thesis. It's also massively offensive to this Christian Fox News viewer, and I don't think I'm the only one.
