An evening with Richard Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals. His primary responsibilities include setting NAE's policy direction on issues before Congress, the White House, and Supreme Court, as well as serving as a national spokesman on issues of concern to evangelicals. He is the author of more than one hundred published articles and editorials, author and editor of The High Cost of Indifference (Regal Books), a contributor to On Christian Freedom (University Press of America), the Dictionary of Christianity in America (Inter-Varsity Press), and the landmark document "For the Health of the Nation: An Evangelical Call to Civic Engagement."

Cizik has led the evangelical Christian movement to recognize the Gospel call to issues of creation care and justice. In a recent statement, Cizik said of his role, "Why? Because they are God's concerns. Thus, I will continue to sound a clear trumpet about the threats to God's creation posed by climate change, habitat destruction, species extinction, pollution and the spread of human infectious diseases. And, I will also continue to speak out about global hunger and climate change, genocide, and all denials of human dignity, such as posed by torture."
