Some Evangelicals Question Whether they Have Overlooked the Rural Church
The Washington Post’s Sarah Pulliam Bailey reports that Donald Trump’s election has put a spotlight on rural, white evangelicals, who overwhelming supported the president-elect. Now some evangelical leaders in urban and suburban areas are wondering if they have overlooked the needs of rural churches. Anthony Bradley, a professor at King’s College, says, “Evangelicals have internally tribalized by class and by educational pedigree. Some of the people we think of as evangelical leaders are completely out of touch with the sorts of fears and issues of people who live in rural America.”
