[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing this is causing tension in many churches--particularly those that aren't uniformly progressive. My church is Protestant and evangelical, and takes a conservative stance on certain issues like abortion and gay marriage, but our pastors intentionally do not align with any political party or endorse any candidates and the church also puts a lot of emphasis on social issues. The congregation is a mix of conservatives and liberals.

After the election, one of our pastors made some very critical comments about Trump during a sermon, saying that American Christians had destroyed their witness to the country and world by supporting a candidate whose values were so out of line with Christian values. I agreed 1000% and was very appreciative that he said it publicly. But I learned later that a lot of people were offended by it. I think true Trump supporters are in the minority, but it probably will not be the last time they are upset. [/quote]

I suspect some Christian Trump supporters felt they did something noble in supporting Trump and are now feeling too embarrassed to admit their mistake[/quote]
