ORLANDO, Fla. - Some leading evangelicals are announcing that they're ready to work with religious liberals on issues like abortion, homosexual rights and the environment.

The Reverend Joel Hunter, who's on the board of directors of the National Association of Evangelicals, says he believes "progress can be made for both sides without either of them sacrificing or compromising their values."

He says women considering abortion because they don't think they can afford to raise a child could be offered government assistance if they choose to carry the child to term.

Hunter also believes that many evangelicals who oppose homosexual marriage would be willing to support expanding legal rights for same-sex couples.

And he says evangelicals and progressives can agree on the need to protect the environment and help the poor without damaging the economy
