Once upon a time the term "Christian" meant wider horizons, a larger heart, minds set free, room to move around. But these days "Christian" sounds pinched, squeezed, narrow. Many people who identify themselves as Christians seem to have leapfrogged over life, short-circuited the adventure. When "Christian" appears in a headline, the story will probably be about lines drawn, not about boundaries expanded.
