ok, so this from the washington post.....For the second time in little more than a year, the Christian Coalition of America has named a new leader and then removed him before he ever fully took the reins of the conservative political advocacy group.
The Rev. Joel Hunter, pastor of a non-denominational megachurch in Longwood, Fla., said he resigned as the coalition's incoming president because its board of directors disagreed with his plan to broaden the organization's agenda. In addition to opposing abortion and same-sex marriage, Hunter, 58, wanted to take on such issues as poverty, global warming and HIV/AIDS.
"My position is, unless we are caring as much for the vulnerable outside the womb as inside the womb, we're not carrying out the full message of Jesus," he said in a telephone interview today. "They began to think this might threaten their base, or evaporate some of their support, and they said they just couldn't go there."
mm notes......much as i disagree with his stance on my womb.....i applaud this man for trying to take on the bigger picture of wwjd.....and the notion that this group prefers to stick to these dual issues rather than embrace the whole of the bibical message is troubling in its hypocracy........the pharasees of our own time......
