Forty prominent leaders met recently for a Thursday–Saturday discussion of possible areas for larger evangelical cooperation, prodded by CHRISTIANITY TODAY’S editorial plea, “Somehow, Let’s Get Together!” Their Key Bridge Meeting in Arlington, Virginia, may signal a bright new advance for biblically oriented Christianity. (For reports, see pages 25 and 42.)
They have projected for committee consideration a 1973 campaign that would engage local churches nationwide in simultaneous community evangelistic effort.
Equally significant at the Key Bridge Meeting was the reflection of widening dissatisfaction among evangelicals over the idea of cooperation for evangelism only. That Christianity is engaged in a global battle for the minds of men gives new urgency to the ideological and theological facets of the contemporary struggle. Nearly every evangelical conclave that meets today to consider the imperatives of New Testament strategy senses a deepening obligation to confront the world of thought and learning more effectively with the urgent claims of the truth of revelation.
