PsyPost: Study links identity threat among white evangelicals to the belief Trump’s election was part of God’s plan
An analysis of data from the American Trends Panel relating to white evangelical protestant Christians found a link between the belief that Donald Trump’s election was a part of God’s plan and whether a person considers him/herself a religious minority. While 66% of white evangelicals who do not see themselves as a religious minority stated that Trump’s election was a part of God’s plan, this percentage increases to 74% for white evangelicals who do consider themselves a religious minority. The study was published in Politics and Religion.
Eighty-one percent of white evangelicals reported voting for Trump in the 2016 presidential elections. This number declined by only 3% in the 2020 election, in spite of multiple well-publicized events in which president Trump displayed irreligiosity or committed moral transgressions. 11.15.22

Much has been written about White evangelicals’ central role in the fraying of democracy. More attention, however, should be paid to the damage the political movement has inflicted on religion itself. |

Nov 30, 2021: China Christian Daily: [Interview] Pastor Says Virtuous Cycle of Giving Is Possible in the Church
Among the pastors and believers of grassroots churches in China today, tithing seems to be a somewhat complex but very important topic. Many grassroots churches have been suffering from the lack of giving all year round, making it difficult for them to carry out their ministries. And the enthusiasm of some believers for tithing gradually fades because of “giving much but seeing no evident difference”.
