The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Who Is John Stott?

David Brooks once again is right on target with this commentary. Sharpton and Falwell do not speak for Christ. They speak for their supporters, from their egos and for their institutions.

I don't know Stott, but I will find more about him. If he is as Brooks describes him, speaking always about the person of Jesus Christ, then he's my man.

Thanks David! The following quote is among the best:

"Politicians, especially Democrats, are now trying harder to appeal to people of faith. But people of faith are not just another interest group, like gun owners. You have to begin by understanding the faith. And you can't understand this rising global movement if you don't meet its authentic representatives.

Not Falwell, but Stott."
