White Evangelicals, Trump, and a Church in Crisis

When Tim Alberta, the son of a born-again Christian pastor, was growing up, the Church was a sanctuary from the political world. Now, as a journalist, he chronicles how, over the past few decades, political ideologies have divided the church, with white evangelicals getting caught up in politics and their support for Donald Trump. CBS News Chief Elections and Campaign Correspondent Robert Costa speaks with Alberta, author of the new book “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism,” which claims that the white evangelical church is in crisis, which has coincided with the election of Donald Trump. “CBS News Sunday Morning” features stories on arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements.
