Evangelicals plan to ban presents

 

Conservative religious leaders are flexing their muscles…

Conservative religious leaders are so pleased with their campaign against the "war on Christmas" that they're going to rev it up next year.

But one influential group of evangelicals has something else in mind that is causing a division in the religious ranks: It wants to ban presents. The American Family Association is suggesting that adults buy nothing from stores for each other next year. There are 14 to 16 million evangelical Christian adults in the United States, according to the Barna Group, a California firm that studies the Christian market. The Wildmons' campaign may have an unlikely ally -- Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun magazine. Members of Lerner's Network of Spiritual Progressives protested the consumerism of the season by demonstrating outside shopping centers this month.  URL: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/12/24/MNGBOGD4GD1.DTL
