The Christian Post reports that leaders of the country's largest evangelical organization say dealing with changes in American culture is of utmost concern.

The National Association of Evangelicals recently surveyed its leadership and found little concern centered on national politics or the war in Iraq. Culture concerns including consumerism, materialism, family finances and the preservation of traditional families were listed as top issues of concern to the evangelical leaders representing about 30 million members.

Highest in culture concerns was reduction of abortions and defense of the sanctity of human life, according to NAE president Leith Anderson, The next likely issue of concern identified by evangelical leaders was helping the hurting, which included HIV/AIDS, poverty reduction and immigration reform.
