Evangelicals for Darfur is a group of evangelical leaders who are calling for an end to the ongoing genocide in Darfur. This group is comprised of people across the political spectrum because to them,
“…in matters of life and death, there is no left or right, there is only right and wrong.”

Here’s the form letter they are asking participants to send to President Bush:

We come to you from across the evangelical spectrum. We beseech you to act on your faith and do the right thing by leading the world to stop the genocide affecting “the least of these” in Darfur. To date, more than 400,000 people have been killed. 2.5 million displaced. Countless more have been raped, maimed, and tortured: Men, women, and children created in God’s image, innocents all. Ending the atrocities will require your personal leadership in supporting the deployment of a strong U.N. peacekeeping force and multilateral economic sanctions. While we often disagree on matters of politics, we are united in the belief that your intervention can make the critical difference in Darfur. We join together now to urge you, in the words of Proverbs 24:11-12, to “rescue those being led away to death.” We pledge to do everything we can to rally support in both Congress and the U.N. to support your leadership in ending the horror in Darfur.

Also, check out the radio ad that they have out in support of their cause. It’s heartening to see that we are seeing a side to the evangelical movement that doesn’t involve megachurches or political posturing.
