Evangelicals for Darfur

In numerous conversations over the last few weeks, several evangelical Christian leaders have discovered a profound unity on the crisis in Darfur. Believing this is a time and an issue which transcends other political differences, a number of us began talking about how we could respond to this enormous moral challenge.

A broad and diverse group of evangelical leaders is now acting together.
