A group of Evangelicals have declared their support for Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth), Pope Benedict XVI’s social encyclical.
The Center For Public Justice published, Doing the truth in love: an evangelical call for response to Caritas in Veritate. The document applauds the pope’s call for ethical and sustainable globalization. It calls on other Evangelicals to “read, wrestle with, and respond to Caritas in Veritate and its identification of the twin call of love and truth upon our lives as citizens, entrepreneurs, workers and, most fundamentally, as followers of Christ.”
It also makes this alarming, half-truth statement:
“In Christ’s death and resurrection, God removes all that stands in the way of right relationships between God and the world, among humans, and between humanity and the rest of creation. Human development is included in this restoration of all things to right relationship.” …
Some familiar interfaith personalities endorsed the document:
Richard Mouw, President, Fuller Theological Seminary
David Neff, Editor in Chief, Christianity Today
Jim Wallis, President, Sojourners
