Parker v. Parker

Christian attitudes toward political involvement are oft pessimistic. Some claim Christian involvement in the policy realm hurts the mission of the church. Others say, it has no impact and is a waste of time. Others yet cry, "we've only just begun to fight".

Take Parker v. Parker for instance. Kathleen Parker wrote, "Pragmatically speaking, the Christian coalition of cultural crusaders didn't work. For proof, one need look no further than Dobson himself, who was captured on tape recently saying that the big cultural battles have all been lost." Parker goes on to state, "Compromise may be the grease of politics, but it has no place in Christian orthodoxy, according to Deace. Put another way, Christians may have no place in the political fray of dealmaking."

Star Parker on the other hand writes, "... those who write off Christian conservatism as a political force have underestimated the driving compulsion behind traditional faith and American freedom. Just looking at who is in power does not reveal the depth of division in the country today and for the reasons that the nation is so deeply divided, may I suggest that Christian conservatism will not only survive but will thrive."

Has the Dobson political vehicle been effective? Is there a better approach? What is the Christian Right and the Conservative Movement doing that is so IRRITATING to the rest of the culture? Can Christians win in politics without winning in the culture?
