Campolo Says Church Will Suffer for Partisan Politics
The church in America is going to suffer for allowing secular political divisions to enter religion, author and activist Tony Campolo said on a Sunday talk show.

"When the church gets aligned with a political party--left or right--it's like mixing ice cream and horse manure. It won't hurt the manure, but it ruins the ice cream," Campolo said on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopolous....

...Campolo said evangelical voters helped elect President Bush to a first term four years ago expecting him to overturn Roe vs. Wade, something "he did not make the slightest effort" to do.

"That left me suspicious that the religious right was more concerned about a Republican president than the unborn," Campolo said....

..."As a Christian I know the difference between Jesus Christ and President Bush," Bauer said."I don't think either party has a monopoly on virtue or vice."
