WASHINGTON: Christianity Today, the magazine founded by the late Reverend Billy Graham, renewed its criticism of President Donald Trump in a new editorial that cited his"misuses of power" and asked fellow Christians to examine their loyalty to him, days after a controversial editorial that called for his impeachment.
"With profound love and respect," Dalrymple said,"we ask our brothers and sisters in Christ to consider whether they have given to Caesar what belongs only to God: Their unconditional loyalty."The editorial praised the Trump administration's judicial appointment,"advocacy of life, family, and religious liberty". But it said: "It is one thing to praise his accomplishments; it is another to excuse and deny his obvious misuses of power.
Evangelical Christians make up about 25 per cent of the US population. According to a Pew Research poll from last January, 69 per cent of white evangelicals approved of the job Trump is doing, compared with 48 er cent of white mainline Protestants and 12 per cent of black Protestants.Graham's son Franklin had slammed the original Christianity Today editorial and said his father knew, believed in and voted for Trump, an endorsement that other family members dispute.
