What was the significance for the evangelical community of John Ashcrofts appointment?
The appointment of John Ashcroft as attorney general of the United States was a very important symbol to the evangelical community. John Ashcroft is a Pentecostal, belongs to the Assemblies of God. He also, of course, had a long and distinguished career in politics. He was governor of Missouri. He was a senator from Missouri. One could argue that the appointment of John Ashcroft represents the highest rank that any card-carrying evangelical has ever held in an administration. That appointment was extremely important to the evangelical community, because it signaled very early on that President Bush was not going to take them for granted, and was going to pay attention to at least some salient elements of their agenda.
