Moderation in Christianity is related to the spiritual wisdom that is addressed in Epistle of James in chapter 3 verse 17.
[1] In the First Epistle to Timothy,[2] moderation is also referred to as temperance and is a required characteristic to be bishop in the Church.
[3] Moderate Christianity is characterized by its concern to bring hope to the world, to include cultural diversity and creative collaboration, by not being fundamentalist or liberal, by being predominantly conservative even while being guardedly open to newer developments and trends; by being committed to judicious discernment and avoiding extremism in its decisions.
[11] In the late 1940s, evangelical theologians from Fuller Theological Seminary founded in Pasadena, California, in 1947, championed the Christian importance of social activism.
[16][17] In this movement called neo-evangelicalism, new organizations, social agencies, media and Bible colleges were established in the 1950s.
