Religion Reporter Questions LA Times Use of 'F-Word'
Terry Mattingly directs the Washington Journalism Centre at Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. He also writes a weekly religion column for Scripps Howard and blogs at GetReligion.org.
Over the weekend, he took issue with a Sunday LA Times news report on a Houston prayer rally attended by Texas Governor Rick Perry. In the first sentence of the Times article, Washington correspondent Paul West branded those in attendance as “fundamentalist” Christians. Argues Mattingly:
Have we reached the point where any Christian believer whose doctrine of scripture and church tradition is high enough to believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin will now be called a “fundamentalist”?
Let me stress that this rally included some fringe folks, for sure.
