Last week, CNN contributor Roland Martin asked this question: "When did it come to the point that being a Christian meant caring about only two issues,­ abortion and homosexuality?"

Brian McLaren, author of "A New Kind of Christian," had this reflection in a blog post titled "Which Holy War?"

We've probably heard many people here in the U.S. ask, "Why aren't there more moderate Muslims speaking out against the violent extremists and calling for reform in Islam?" As I reflected on Roland Martin's editorial on Good Friday, 2007, I couldn't help but think, "Maybe around the world, 'behind our back,' so to speak, people are asking a similar question about Christians in the U.S."
