Evangelical voters are rethinking their politics and purpose.
No recent Republican president has won without the help of
Evangelical Christian voters, and they are credited with Mike
Huckabee's recent meteoric rise in the polls. But some in the
Evangelical community, disillusioned by what they see as broken
promises from the Bush administration, are rethinking their
political strategies. NOW ON PBS travels to Wichita, Kansas,
to investigate how and why the movement is shifting away from
hot-button issues like abortion and gay rights to broader and less
divisive issues like global warming and AIDS. Is the religious
right forging a new path, and how will it affect their political
clout?

issues you think Evangelical leaders should focus on. Also, check
