Evangelicals on Larry King Live...

Brian McLarenI just skimmed the transcripts to last night’s Larry King Live show featuring a group of Time Magazine‘s 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America. I’m not saying it’s worth the read — I’m not a fan of Larry King to begin with and most of the answers given by the “evangelicals” made me dislike them as well.

I thought this was an interesting statement by one of the callers, though:

Good evening, Larry. Good evening to your panel. I would like to preface my comment to Mrs. LaHaye by saying that I highly respect Reverend Jakes and Mr. McLaren because they seem to be the most compassionate, understanding and open-minded of the evangelicals…
Let’s hear it for the black guy and the guy on the fringe!

(It sort of makes me feel good about those I’d choose to keep company with.)

Update: See some video “highlights” (really just clips of Brian McLaren, but that’s ok) here.

If you’re interested in some real scoop on LaHaye, a creepy character if ever there was one, you might enjoy the deconstruction and commentary on his “Left Behind” series at Slacktivist: http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivi..

Thanks, Wheat… I came across that site a while back, but didn’t have time to read it through. There’s some interesting stuff there.

I really enjoyed Grahams comments. Must of what he said
seemed to match a lot of what a majority of Christians believe.

LaHaye, he got sucked in. While, foundationally he is partly right I still think the attitude needs to be toned down. Jakes was great and he seemed to echo some of Grahams comments other than the political part which was secondary to the entire interview.

That’s funny… I don’t see the LaHayes as having anything valuable to say whatsoever.
