The Right-Wing Takeover of Mainstream Protestantism
Posted by Fiacharrey under News
This Sunday, May 21, there will be a special episode of the radio show “State of Belief” exposing the coordinated effort to undermine mainstream protestant churches.
Dr. Bruce Prescott, Executive Director of Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists, is, like Welton, a veteran of the purges that marked the conservative takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention. The strategy, says Prescott, is to keep mainstream denominations in turmoil over wedge issues such as gay marriage, so that conservative leaders can be free to achieve their political and religious goals.
While I am not a fan of Air America Radio, I do rather enjoy the program “State of Belief.” It is heard on Sundays from 5 to 6 PM EST. Information about affiliates, listening live via the internet, or podcasting can be found at www.StateofBelief.com.
