Seek to be peacemakers - and not partisans, US evangelicals are urged

US evangelicals are being urged to act as peacemakers rather than partisans, as the drama of the 2024 Presidential election result unfolds.

Writing in The Times in the UK, leading evangelical scientist and author Dr Francis Collins, who led the Human Genome Project from 1993, urges: 'Take up the mantle of a peacemaker; you will be blessed; you may even be called a child of God.'

In the most recent Credo article relating faith to life for the newspaper, Collins says: 'With the escalating partisan animosity that is dominating societal discourse, and will reach a new peak with the US presidential election... we need peacemakers more than ever.'
