Social gospel still needed
Christian Century, April 4, 2006
SOCIAL GOSPEL STILL NEEDED: TV news reporter Sam Donaldson once said that there was a basic conflict between Ronald Reagan the man and President Reagan the politician. If you were down on your luck, Reagan would give you the shirt off his back. But then he'd sit in the Oval Office in his undershirt, signing legislation that would throw kids out of school lunch programs and take people off welfare rolls, all in the name of fiscal responsibility.
"He had a good heart, but when it came to his ideology, his philosophy [was] 'off with their heads'" (from David L. Holmes, The Religion of the Founding Fathers, Oxford University Press).
