In an era of kinder, gentler evangelical leaders like Rick Warren and Tim Keller, who appeal to a younger generation of believers, James Dobson may already have been an anachronism.

Jim Daly is certain there is “a right way and a wrong way” to live one’s life, and it’s all about Jesus Christ and a literal reading of the Bible. But the new leader of the evangelical ministry Focus on the Family isn’t going to get in your face if you disagree.

At a time when the conservative movement is dominated by raucous tea party demonstrations for lower taxes and smaller government, Daly seems oddly disconnected. “Don’t know much about it, to be honest with you,” he said, even though a recent poll showed that many tea party supporters are social conservatives like himself.

Instead, he spends more time worrying about so-called “Christian militias” plotting against the government. “The ‘Christian’ label means a lot to me,” he said. “We don’t want a theocracy. We want a government informed in moral principle.”

“I’m not fearful that change will happen in America. It will happen,” Jim Daly, the president of Focus on the Family, said.

Focus on the Family “will weigh in on the big social issues before us and provide an opinion, but in all of that I want to express respect for everyone, for all human beings,” he said. “It’s not about being highly confrontational. It’s about results.”
