- an Evangelical with a capital E is a Protestant Christian
- and Evangelical piety (in the broadest sense) is Christ-centred & Bible-centred
Other Christians use and venerate the Bible - what distinguishes its place in Evangelicalism, is the functional loadis the tradition of Evangelicalism. Without the dynamism of the Holy Spirit in the Church, the Apostolicity of the catholic Churches would be a deadening and deadly weight; it is the Spirit of God Who makes it live and fruitful in good.
And while some forms of Evangelical Churchmanship seem to have little interest in the Christian past, that cannot be said of all forms of Evangelicalism.
Catholic forms of Christianity are sacramental, and emphasise a principle of mediation by creaturesearnestness - the evangelical takes God seriously
