Nice Shoutout from the Evangelical Free Church of America

Greg Strand, the Director of Biblical Credentialing and Theology for the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA), has written a thoughtful post at the EFCA blog on Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?: A Historical; Introduction. 

There is also a link to a lecture I gave last spring on the campus of the University of Minnesota as part of a series of lectures I did in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for the MacLaurin Institute. 

Here is a small taste of Strand's post:

I appreciate the care and diligence with which Fea attempts to answer this important and sensitive question. With this topic, often myth or legend is spoken as fact/truth, and this is particularly true among many of our Evangelical brothers and sisters. For example, a reference to “divine providence” does not necessarily refer to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and it does not only come from the lips (or pen) of true Evangelical believers. These kinds of statements are often read through an Evangelical lens or grid thus leading the reader to conclude that the author of that expression must be an Evangelical. The author may be a true believer, but that reality must be based on and determined by other evidence to substantiate it. This is the sort of homework Fea has done, which I find helpful and I appreciate greatly. 

Thanks, Greg
