Editor Quits after Christian Publication Backs Trump Amid Evangelical Divide - MORE UPDATES

An editor at the Christian Post announced his resignation after the publication came out with an editorial in defense of President Trump.

Napp Nazworth's decision to quit comes amid a divide among evangelical publications concerning the president. Nazworth, who had been at the outlet for more than eight years, announced his resignation on Twitter Monday night, calling the decision a "difficult choice" and adding that he "can't be an editor for a publication with that editorial voice."

"Like so many other media companies, they've chosen to silo themselves," he continued. "They've chosen to represent a narrow (and shrinking) slice of Christianity. That might be a good business decision, short term at least. But it's bad for Democracy, and bad for the Gospel. It means there will be one more place where readers can go for bias confirmation, but one less place where readers can go to exercise their brains on diversity of thought." Read More

As well as an editorial blasting Mark Galli, the Christian Post has published a number of articles supporting the controversial presidency of the real-estate millionaire and reality TV producer and star Donald Trump. Several echo the views of Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, who is himself a controversial figure. What is noteworthy is that these views are not new and have their origins in the 2016 presidential election campaign. They are talking points that Republican supporters of President Trump have used against their Democrat opponents.

The polarization of the United States and its evangelical community over the Trump presidency and the President Trump's own divisiveness is a welcome Christmas gift not only to the Kremlin but also to the devil. A divided nation is a weak nation and a divided church is a weak church. As we begin a new year and a new decade, let us pray that God will heal the rifts that are tearing the fabric of our nation and its evangelical community and unite us under the banner of the Prince of Peace whose birth we celebrate on the morrow.
