18 August 2004
18 August 2004Wash Post headline gets it wrong: Melanie Mattson of Just a Bump in the Beltway calls The Revealer's attention to a story in today's paper on a letter to Bush from 10 "teachers of Christian ethics." The story is solid, and important -- conservative and liberal theologians are distressed by the Bush campaign's attempts to recruit churches. The headline, though -- "Pastors Issue Directive in Response to Reelection Tactic" -- treats Christian leaders as if they're interchangeable. But few, if any, of the letter signers are actually pastors, a term, Mattson points out, reserved for the leaders of congregations.
