In recent years, the number of Christians identifying as âChristian Socialistsâ or âChristian Communistsâ has skyrocketed in a way not seen in over 40 years. Sarah Ngu, in her 2020 article âWhy These Young American Christians Embrace Socialismâ wrote the following: âOver the past three years, some American Christians have rediscovered this tradition and found themselves gravitating to socialismâin all its varieties, from democratic socialism to full-fledged communism.â Gary Dorrien, a professor of social ethics at Union Theological Seminary, writes âThe revival (of Christian socialism) is a Christian flank of the current upsurge for democratic socialistâ. For the most part, the orthodox Christian community has remained silent about this growing trend, seemingly oblivious to the dangers. Itâs time we acknowledged how the Trojan Horse of Socialism entered the Church, and fight back.
