Let moderate voices be raised

I just read Andrew Faiz's article in the January Presbyterian Record on moral issues and the Christian Right.
His article reflects my own feelings and beliefs, but said it better (and with greater humour) than I could have said it myself. All too often the Christian Right seems to be able to get away with saying the most un-Christ-like things while quoting scripture to do so. And, unfortunately, it often seems that when the media decides to focus on some religious/ethical/ political issue the only people quoted are religious conservatives, forgetting that there are many religious moderates and liberals who are in favour of same-sex marriage, pro choice, and concerned about issues of poverty, peace and justice.
