But in a secular age, Christian groups find common cause
was published by some of America's most prominent Roman Catholics and evangelical Christians. The document entitled "Evangelicals and Catholics Together" emphasised how much the two groups had in common, both spiritually and in their ideas about public policy, and it pledged that they would work together for a further narrowing of differences. After all, it declared, "all who accept [Jesus] Christ as Lord and Saviour are brothers and sisters in Christ.
Abortion was already an ultra-sensitive political issue in 1994 and it has lost none of its salience; since then the advance of gay rights and new understandings of sexuality and gender have created even greater incentives for conservative Catholics and evangelicals to work together on what, in their common terminology, they describe as family values and pro-life causes.
Still, some have predicted that the presidency of Donald Trump, approved in overwhelming numbers by evangelical Christians and by a smaller margin by white Catholics, will drive the two sides apart. America's Catholic bishops, at least, have obvious differences with the current president, often over the very policies which conservative evangelicals warm to.
In any case, all that still leaves intact the relationship that has developed between moderate religious conservatives, often religious intellectuals, from different denominations, in other words exactly the sort of people who put together the ECT in the first place. One such personality, the evangelical theologian Russell Moore, told Erasmus that the expectations raised in 1994 had proved over-blown in some respects and too cautious in others.
