LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY jehovahsfitness)

Yesterday's episode of State of Belief was a special edition about how IRD, Association for Church Renewal and other related groups are taking over Protestant denominations. Here's notes I took while listening.


IRD original purpose: to try to counter liberation theology in Latin America.
Half of the money IRD spends is on the UMC.

UCC "renewal" groups:
Biblical Witness Fellowship
Faithful and Welcoming

SBC takeover groups:
Council for National Policy
Religious Roundtable


What strikes me is that the puppet masters here have secular interests. Coors, Scaife, etc are neo-imperalists who are concerned only with economic dominion, and are manipulating religious groups and individuals to achieve their ends.
