| | At this time, the terms "evangelical" and "fundamentalist" were used interchangeably. Around 1956, Graham began to extend fellowship to Catholics and to modernists. A group of pastors led by [[John R. Rice]] (1895-1980) and Bob Jones objected. Graham rebranded himself as an evangelical, yielding the "fundamentalist" label to Rice and Jones, who would become major figures in the [[Independent Baptist]] movement. | | At this time, the terms "evangelical" and "fundamentalist" were used interchangeably.

| − | In the late 1970s, [[Jerry Falwell]], Rice's designated successor, dropped the objection to fellowship with Catholics to form the "Religious Right," a coalition of politically conservative Protestants and Catholics. (Historically the fundamentalists were not strongly conservative; Bryan himself had been on the left of the national political spectrum.) Under Falwell, fundamentalists reentered American politics as conservatives; Falwell himself would later lead his congregation into the Southern Baptist Convention, thus rebranding himself as an evangelical. In recent years, the movement has lacked notable leadership, and is known to be highly splintered among various groups. | + | In the late 1970s, [[Jerry Falwell]], Rice's designated successor, dropped the objection to fellowship with Catholics to form the "Religious Right," a coalition of politically conservative Protestants and Catholics.
