McLaren on Larry King Live

Uncategorized 1 Minute

KING: Brian, I guess you as well knew you would be on the list. What did you make of the story?

MCLAREN: Well, I heard about the list just a couple of days before I found out I was on it. I’m probably one of the people Dr. LaHaye has never heard of. So I felt quite surprised to be on the list. I felt quite different, really, than many of the other people on the list…

KING: Because?

MCLAREN: I’m not sure I fit it. Well, the thrust of the article focused on the role of evangelicals in politics. And I probably represent a lot of people who are not terribly comfortable with the direction that a lot of Christian discourse in relation to politics has been going in recent years.

By the way, for those who watched, was Tim LaHaye an idiot or what?
