"The Numbers Are Bad"

"The first step is to puncture the racial bubble around WEPs. That's what Stetzer learned in his research: Perspectives that white evangelicals need to hear can be found in evangelicals of other colors. 'White evangelicals would do well to turn off cable news and listen to their sisters and brothers in the increasingly diverse pews of evangelical churches,' Stetzer wrote in his Election Day message. By connecting with others who look different but share a common faith, white evangelicals will learn to reject Trump's message 'that our love for others is conditioned by country, race, or ethnicity.' They will come to 'see this culture of fear of others for what it is: un-Christian.'"

William Saletan at Slate discusses how "white evangelical Protestants have surrendered moral judgment and social responsibility."
