How Social Justice, CRT Became Heresy for Evangelicals

Owen Strachan has a message for his fellow evangelicals. They can follow Jesus, or they can be woke. But they can’t do both. Using traditional media and on Twitter, Strachan, a seminary professor in Conway, Arkansas, has become a leading evangelical Christian voice in the "woke wars" that have been turning school boards, television screens and church pews into political battlefields. In conservative circles "wokeness," a term invented by Black activists to refer to social injustice awareness, is now shorthand for "liberals ruining America."
