Here's a short poem attributed to St. Brigid, which ought to be included whenever beer and theology meet:

I long for a great lake of ale,

I long for the men of heaven in my house,

I long for cheerfulness in their drinking,

And I long for Jesus to be there among them.

Thank you for taking your time to revisit your answer to the person asking about the good you might see in evangelicalism. The easy thing would have been to acknowledge to yourself how you wished you’d have answered. But by taking the time to wrestle with expressing what you wish you’d said, and then sharing that with us, you’ve helped all of us in ministry who are at times asked to validate those who consider themselves evangelical. And to answer in a way that points to the damage done in the name of Jesus, encouraging them to listen to the experiences of those formerly within evangelical faith communities and letting their reality provide the answer. Again, thank you for your faithful witness to a loving God.
