Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : December 28, 2006
These are the “top ten stories of 2006,” according to Christianity Today. They are “the events, people, and debates of the past year that Christianity Today’s editors and writers believe have shaped, or will significantly shape, evangelical life, thought, or mission.”
1. Sex Scandal Fells NAE President Ted Haggard
2. Israel Invades Lebanon
3. Court Decisions Favor Traditional Marriage
4. Muslims Riot over Pope’s Comments
5. Religious Left Declares Victory in Midterm Election
6. Violence Sends Christians Packing from Iraq
7. Southern Baptists Crack Down on Tongues
8. Immigration Debate Splits Evangelicals
9. Ministry Leaders Sign Evangelical Climate Initiative
10. Christians Flock to See The Da Vinci Code
What does this list tell you about North American Evangelicalism? In my perspective, the most important on this list are 2, 4, and 8. I have no idea why 1 and 10 (and possibly 7) made the list.
