acts 26- Christian Right and Left???

When thinking about the “Christian Right” or “Christian Left” there is stereotypically one key difference. The “Christian Right” is focused on “personal” morality. Issues like homosexuality and promiscuity are up front and center.

The “Christian Left” is focused on “cause morality.” Peace and justice issues, feeding the poor and such would be front and center. Now, there is certainly crossover, even between Christians of the extreme in either direction. For example, those on the “right” can be very concerned about the environment and those on the “left” would lift up monogamy, even in homosexual relationships, as well.

What you really find is that Christians have a whole lot in common when it comes to personal morality and cause morality. It is only when they try to get passionate about politics that they focus on the differences. If Christians concentrate on loving their neighbor, they actually blend together fairly well.

Here is a teaching on not being judgmental but focusing on what we have in common.
