Well said. Never heard of the term Evangelicalist (vs. Evangelical.) The differentiation, however, is eye opening. Unfortunately, my many uneducated Evangelicalist family members don't realize that there is a difference as they go about blindly supporting Trump while feeding and clothing immigrants at home and in other countries. What I see is that their Oklahoma and Texas church leaders demand obedience and ignorance.

Well now, I might need to visit this changed Presbyterian church sometime. A couple of decades ago, it was quite a conservative “who’s popular in San Clemente” social crowd. And I was shocked to see the anti-gay pamphlets in the narthex. It’s good to see this flip, especially as the Mormon church and Calvary South churches are manhandling all of our local elections.

Good article. But the people he talks about have always been aroun. This is more than book review. The author is Jewish. I don't know if you should take it with a grain of salt https://archive.ph/XRQiM
