COMMENTARY
RNS-McCaulley-Oped: It is past time for the church to tell the truth about the election
(RNS) —  President Trump wasn’t making a legal or a factual argument claiming election fraud. He was using his power to put a thumb on the scales. Therefore, the ongoing support of these unproven theories of election fraud by white conservative Christians does not simply weaken the church’s witness by making it partisan. It weakens our witness by aligning truth with power — a classic error that has always led to ruin. By Esau McCauley. 1250 words. (category: k)

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
