Some of these people served in overseas missions, some in the inner city, others as laypersons whose faith in God was unmixed, straightforward. Christians whose overriding joy was love for God and who were unashamed in their simple and direct witness to their faith. Very often their faith was innocent, uncluttered with the cynicism and doubt that characterize many in Christian ministries. Too often though, their examples have been more admired than copied. My own seminary studies often revealed a tendency among clergy to favor head over heart, critical studies over prayer and silence.
Political correctness can be deadly, fostering favoritism and manipulation.
Political correctness can substitute unthinking alliance for creeds, a herd mentality instead of shared convictions. The antidote to political correctness is not revolt but submission to Christ, not anger but humility, not blind following but Christ's love for others.
