The Institute on Religion and Democracy criticizes the National Council of Churches for their anti-war lobbying.
From the last paragraph:
Culturally, religiously, or politically there is little that connects these religious left activists to most American church members or to the current century for that matter. Their confusion of politics with theology, and insistence that Jesus shares the views of Daniel Ellsberg, remains annoying. But as relics of an increasingly distant era, they are best understood as perhaps entertaining antiquities.
It is ironic that the NCC, which pays no attention to Jesus' words regarding evangelism and fulfilling the Great Commission, seems to know what He would have us do with our foreign policy. I won't comment on the opinions of others, but the National Council of Churches does not represent my opinion on this issue.
