Newsworthy 1-22-06: E-word labels; New Documentary on Christians; Sri Lankan pastor dies; More on environmental movement bandwagon


How do Christian evangelicals define themselves? This USA Today article briefly cites how the word "evangelical" has been recently viewed as a negative connotation or an extremist label and how some Christians are attempting to save the "E-word."

In an ABC News Good Morning America section, documentary director, Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of newly selected Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, promotes her documentary profile on Christian evangelicals. In an almost 5-minute news piece, a video excerpt is shown with Ted Haggard, former president for the National Association of Evangelicals, talking frankly about sex with church members and the director.

Sri Lankan pastor dies from shots to his body during security force shooting. The online article cites questionable responses from security.

Although a group of Christians and scientists have been united recently as part of a new movement to work against human-caused pollution/global threats, other Christians are distancing themselves from this movement.
