Retiring NAE head Leith Anderson: Evangelicals not just White...or Political

"Anderson....a 'quiet spokesman' with a pastoral heart, has been overshadowed by fellow evangelicals Franklin Graham and Jerry Falwell Jr."

"Anderson, who has been NAE president since 2006, has worked to help people understand the diversity of what and who evangelicals are. He's done so in the face of public polls showing that 'white evangelicals' are among the most ardent supporters of President Donald Trump and his policies."

"the evangelical organization has sought to be a centrist voice....Anderson has been willing to collaborate with those who share common causes with the NAE. That includes serving on then-President Barack Obama’s advisory council....the group that included representatives of Jewish and Mormon faiths as well as the predominantly gay Metropolitan Community Churches."

"Anderson, 75, has continued to press for more diversity in the NAE...[as former] NAE President Donald Argue said, the membership was 'too old, too male, and too white'."

"Under Anderson’s leadership, NAE worked with LifeWay Research to develop a statistical understanding of the diversity among U.S. evangelicals....Last month (October), with Anderson’s encouragement, the NAE board transformed the look of his organization’s future leadership. The Rev. Walter Kim, an Asian American theologian, will succeed Anderson as president on Jan. 1. John Jenkins, the African American leader of a Maryland megachurch, and former Wesleyan Church General Superintendent Jo Anne Lyon will start as chair and vice chair, respectively, on March 5."
