...grass-roots savvy only partly answer the question of where the movement will go, however. The end of the Falwell era should inspire a sweeping re-examination of the way conservative Christians separate church and state. As it happens, one vision is already being forcefully argued by Charles Colson, the Watergate felon turned prison evangelist, in his articulate new book Kingdoms in Conflict (Morrow/Zondervan; $15.95). Colson's criticisms of the Religious Right are especially noteworthy, coming as they do from a biblically conservative Southern Baptist who joins with the movement in decrying America's continued drift toward dangerous immorality...
...Colson favors Christian activism by individuals and special-purpose groups but believes that because modern America is a pluralistic society, it is "not only wrong but unwise" to try to make doctrine the basis for public policy. He is wary of official political stands by religious groups, except in the case of such manifest evils as slavery and Nazism.

Christians should use reasons that the secular community uses, such as appealing to the greater good for the greater number." Even Falwell agrees that change is nigh.

By the time Richard Nixon's book came along, in 1978, a Committee to Boycott Nixon's Memoirs had been born. Its slogan, "Don't buy books from crooks," failed to work; the Nixon tome earned him $2.2 million, and the hardback became a best seller. But the phrase caught the spirit of the only official ethical stand that Americans have ventured on sensational exploitations. In some 30 states...
