But a win
for evangelicalism as a movement does not translate into a win for every constituency in the movement.
The real
spokesperson for evangelicalism, said Brooks, is John Stott, who is «always bringing people back to the concrete reality of Jesus» life and sacrifice.»
He concluded: «I heard the gospel at various discrete moments in my travels... That the evangelical gospel can still be heard at all above the din of what

For evangelicalism, this meant that departing from theology of strict biblical inerrancy could only mean an inevitable move in the direction of consistent liberalism.
People have told me that I don't have the right to that name any more as I've spoken in support of same - sex marriage, but
for me evangelicalism is rooted in many things: loving the Bible; having a high view of scripture; a passion for social justice; wanting to share the good news about Jesus.
