...larger set of indices to define the "heart of Lutheran piety." These include a definite belief in a transcendent order of being (encompassing life after death and the miraculous) but centered strongly on a loving God who provides for man through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

One called the People's Christian Coalition was more radical in its approach to the Gospel, and caused a ruckus at a midweek meeting when some of its members joined with Mennonites to hold up a CHRIST OR COUNTRY banner and chant "Stop the war." They reflected a feeling among a minority of evangelicals at the conference that Bright's brand of Christianity is lacking...
