Evangelicalism and Politics in the U.S.
This
from the Owl & Ibis – A Confluence of Minds “Statement
of Purpose and Intent:”
“Respectful
of the rights of its members to hold personal beliefs of their choosing, Owl
and Ibis, as a learning endeavor, is interested in all civilizations,
societies, cultural traditions, and belief systems but professes to none. It
holds in high esteem secular-scientific thinking yet is committed to
ideological pluralism and tolerance regarding all other modes of thought and
inquiry. At the same time, Owl & Ibis participants will critically assess
and when necessary challenge the beliefs and values of persons and groups in
terms of the harm they may do or the purported benefit they provide to specific
persons, peoples, and Humankind as a whole.”

Description:
For
a short while after the election of 2016, there was widespread interest in the
public press in trying to account for the unusually high percentage of
Evangelical Christians who voted for Donald Trump. Many theories were floated,
and throughout early 2017 you occasionally saw photos of groups of evangelical
leaders praying over Trump in the Oval Office. But so many other troubling
aspects of the Trump Administration have flooded the news almost daily in the
past year and a half, that the Evangelical voter topic has been shunted into
the shadows.
It is my conviction that this is a big mistake. Because I am convinced that those Evangelical voters may once again have a drastic effect on the upcoming Mid-Term Election of 2018, catching many pundits by surprise again. This latest entry in the Strange Brew series, along with the next two entries in the series (coming soon), will give the viewer insight into just how and why masses of Evangelicals are gearing up for what they view as not just settling “partisan political disagreements” … but a literal violent, supernatural Spiritual Battle with what they consider forces of darkness.
