Southern Baptists find no inconsistency between voting Sarah Palin into office with their views of marriage and the church.
This one's a doozy. It is always interesting to see how the press interprets religious dialogue. Yet, the article should push Christians to understand their own personal convictions regarding this and other controversial issues. Christians should also know what is at stake in biblical interpretation. Generally, the press only understands the difference between taking the Bible literally or figuratively, and doesn't understand the nuance of interpreting the Bible by genres, context, or historical truth.
But, I suppose it's hard to communicate that in soundbite or quotable fashion. It's best to not be quoted at all I suppose.
