The location of Justice Sunday III was recently announced in an email targeted at pastors in the Philadelphia area:
Greater Exodus Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. :3
(per the article)
Greater Exodus seems to be affiliated with People for People (a group founded by a former NFL football player who became a pastor and who also was a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes--a group occasionally associated with "stealth evangelism" including "stealth altar calls" at public schools), and IS a Baptist church (per this this document) and apparently has quite a history of political involvement including crossing the line to frank politisation at times:

One of People For People's pet projects is voucher programs--not surprising as they run a charter school (registered as a 501(c)3) and the organisation itself is also registered as a 501(c)3.
Needless to say, the good folk at DefCon America and Talk2Action are being notified posthaste :3
