Washington (CNN) An editor for a Christian news website says he is resigning after the publication of a pro-Donald Trump editorial, saying his former employer has chosen to make a "business decision" to align itself with the President rather than follow its moral principles.

The resignation of Napp Nazworth from The Christian Post, announced on Twitter Monday, is the latest example of a recent heated debate among evangelicals about Trump, who enjoys overwhelming support from the community.

"The Christian Post does not normally discuss personnel matters though we would like to say that we are so very grateful for Napp's contribution over these many years and we wish him the best," the Christian Post said in an email to CNN on Tuesday. "We will remain a publication rooted in our Christian faith & committed to objectivity in our reporting & diversity in our opinions."

Last week, another evangelical publication, Christianity Today, drew headlines after its outgoing editor, Mark Galli, authored an op-ed calling Trump morally unfit for office and calling for his removal. The op-ed drew fierce pushback from many in the evangelical community and from the President himself, and prompted nearly 200 evangelical leaders over the weekend to denounce the editor and the magazine.

On Monday, The Christian Post also denounced Galli's article, insisting that Trump's support among evangelicals remains strong and saying Galli was aligning himself with the views of progressive Democrats, not evangelicals.
