RUSSELL MOORE’S AND CAMPAIGN POLITICS

THE PROBLEM WITH RUSSELL MOORE IS NOT THAT HE IS A DEMOCRAT OR THAT HE IS A BAPTIST BUT THAT HE SAYS HE IS A BIBLICAL CONSERVATIVE WHO IS ALL ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND IS REPRESENTING SOUTHERN BAPTIST IN DC, THE MEDIA , AND BEYOND.

Rev Thomas Littleton 9/16/ 2020

Recently this site reported on Tim Keller having joined in the liberal political organization called The & Campaign as an “Elder” board member. In a matter of days Keller’s name and image disappeared from the & Campaign website.

You can read more here and see the photos taken from the & leadership page.

TIM KELLER JOINS LEFTIST & CAMPAIGN

The entire website has now been revamped and does not include Tim Keller’s name or image. Still his associations with & Campaign remain on many levels. Clearly Keller realized that open association as leadership with & Campaign during the current closing days of the 2020 election proved a bridge too far -even for Keller. The PCA is currently attempting a fatal ” regroup” after its recent split in part due to Keller’s compromise on LGBTQ issues.

“A great time last week with the leadership of the & Campaign last week . Amisho Baraka, Justin Giboney , and Angel Maldonado”

https://web.archive.org/web/20200710155348/https://andcampaign.org/leadership

& Campaigns top tier leaders are Democrat and Obama Foundation operatives . There are no Biblical conservatives among them. There are many of Keller TGC affiliated minority urban pastors and church planters among the leadership council .There are also many Southern Baptist urban pastors among the leadership council but the mantra of & Campaign is “Biblical Values & Social Justice.

&CAMPAIGN WANTS TO DISRUPT THE 2020 ELECTION ACCORDING TO ITS EARLY 2019 MISSIONS STATEMENTS. & ESPOUSES THE FOLLOWING “VALUES” INCLUDING “REDEMPTIVE JUSTICE”.

WHAT IS REDEMPTIVE JUSTICE?Redemptive Justice is justice which has its ends in reconciliation, peace, and flourishing for all parties. The “redemption” is not the spiritual redemption which only Christ could achieve on the Cross, but it does take Christ’s sacrifice as its model of self-giving love of neighbor. This understanding of justice differs from the view which says that justice is the overthrowing of all powers or the leveling of all positions. Rather, it acknowledges that power can be used for good or evil. Just as the Roman authorities used their powers to crucify Christ, but Christ used His power to heal, teach, and lead. Redemptive Justice challenges corrupt use of power and calls all people to use the power God has given them stewardship over for good.”

THE & CAMPAIGN HAS A PLAN FOR :

To improve how Christians engage politics and culture and to disrupt America’s sociopolitical arena by asserting the justice and righteousness of Jesus Christ

WHERE WE STAND

( NOTE :& CAMPAIGN IS 3RD WAY / SOCIAL JUSTICE DRIVEN)

“The AND Campaign believes that politics is a limited, but essential forum for pursuing the well-being of our neighbors. It is limited in both its scope and its effectiveness. Politics can and should only reach so much and so far, and political solutions will never approach the perfect justice that Jesus will bring and is bringing. Our hope in all things is in Him. There is rarely one Christian position on a public policy issue, but every Christian should be thinking Christianly about politics. In the policies The AND Campaign promotes and in the positions we take, we believe social justice (&) moral order are not at odds, but are two sides of the same coin. We seek to  act as faithful Christians, applying the timeless values of our faith and Christianity’s true account to the reality we all face, in this political moment. We invite all who affirm our approach to join us in our work to assert a compassionate and convictional witness into the public square.”

The AND Campaign supports policies that affirm human dignity and advance justice.

“We believe each person is made in the image of God, and that our political decisions need to be made in the light of this fact. Human dignity is implicated by many different political issues, and the AND Campaign seeks to be attentive to upholding human dignity wherever possible”.


Poverty and Economic Mobility

“We think of human dignity when we consider poverty, and how an inability to provide for oneself and one’s family undermines human dignity. AND Campaign supports a strong social safety net (Medicaid, social security, nutrition aid for children and families, etc.). AND Campaign believes in the dignity of work, and supports a livable wage. AND Campaign also supports public-private partnerships that marshal government resources to empower communities to serve those in need at the local level. We encourage elected officials and candidates to talk proactively about how they plan to address poverty as part of their vision for the future of this country and the communities they serve.”


Immigration Reform

“We think of human dignity when we think about immigration, and how migrants are treated. The government has a responsibility to monitor its borders, but that must be carried out in a just way. The government should not use family ties against migrants in enforcing border policies. The AND Campaign supports immigration policy that is responsible, compassionate and just. Refugees should be welcomed. Dreamers, young people who were brought to this country through no decision of their own, and who want to live, work and contribute in their communities, should be provided a pathway to citizenship. Comprehensive immigration reform is still needed to address both border security as well as the situation of law-abiding undocumented immigrants who are here raising families, working and paying taxes.”

Sacredness of Human Life

“We think of human dignity when we think about the sacredness of human life. The culture wars have raged over the issue of abortion for the past forty years with results that have been at turns life-affirming and toxic. We have no interest in the politicization of abortion for partisan gain. Popular rhetoric that needlessly inflames and offends is unhelpful, as is rhetoric that rationalizes away our responsibility to act. We find that scripture, biology and the demands of human dignity require a societal response to the tragedy of abortion. Towards that end, we believe that abortion must be opposed holistically, from the economic patterns that often drive the practice to the societal values that justify it. We must provide more support for women with crisis pregnancies.”

The Criminal Justice System

“The AND Campaign believes that America’s criminal justice system has too often been unjust. In particular, our criminal justice system has been used to advance the systemic criminalization and mass incarceration of Black and Brown people–this must end.  Furthermore, the sentences and treatment of inmates must be humane and should involve mental health considerations. High rates of police brutality and inter-community violence, especially in large urban communities, must end. We do not seek a criminal justice system that is overly lenient, or one that lacks enforcement. We do seek a criminal justice system that is restorative, fair and oriented towards the common good, including the good of the currently and formerly incarcerated.”

Supporting and Strengthening Families

“Central to human dignity and justice is the institution of the family. The AND Campaign believes government has a role to play in supporting the economic security of families. We support expanding the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. We support paid leave policies that acknowledge that Americans are not just workers, but also mothers, fathers, spouses, siblings and children. Public policy ought to accommodate and support commitments to family and community. Economic policies must be attentive to families, in particular, and must ensure that healthy family formation is not disincentivized through marriage penalties or other harmful policy consequences.”

In order for our politics to function well, we need to be able to have a basic level of trust in government, and our politics must be inclusive. To this end, the AND Campaign supports policies that reflect a healthy pluralism and thriving democratic institutions.

Voting Rights

“Voting rights must be protected in this country. Access to the polls is not a privilege, but an essential component of citizenship, and so we should be helping people to vote, not putting up obstacles. AND supports restoring voting rights to criminals who have served their time and paid their debt to society.”

Election Reform

“We support taking a hard look at election reform, including campaign finance reform, and voting reforms like ranked preference voting, that will help to reinvigorate the public’s confidence in the democratic process.”


Religious Freedom and Religious Inclusion

& CAMPAIGN ON “LGBTQ RIGHTS “

“All attempts to remove more traditional religious beliefs from the public square should be opposed. We, like many other Americans, affirm the historic Christian sexual ethic, and we also believe that religious freedom and LGBTQ civil rights are not necessarily in irreconcilable conflict. Faith-based charities, hospitals and colleges should not have to choose between surrendering their convictions and closing their doors. At the same time, LGBTQ people should not lose jobs and housing because of how they identify. We must pursue ways to disagree and live together without bullying or compromising our conscience. Towards that end, we encourage all 2020 candidates to support the Fairness for All Act, which will grant basic civil rights for LGBTQ people while also protecting religious freedom for all faiths.”

& CAMPAIGN ON “ISLAMIC RIGHTS”

“Central to true pluralism is the continued inclusion of people of faith and religious organizations of various backgrounds and beliefs in the American political community. We believe strongly in religious freedom for all as a bedrock principle that will be essential if we are to build a more inclusive America in this new century. Such freedoms include religious minorities—including Muslims—and religions that hold beliefs that are unpopular. Religious freedom is not absolute, but it should only be infringed upon when absolutely necessary and with the common good in mind. This idea is not new, but reflected in both statutes and our Constitution. Christian institutions deserve full inclusion in American society, and efforts to starve or stigmatize Christian institutions by force of law or government-endorsed marginalization should be opposed.”

The AND Campaign supports a healthy political culture, and those who contribute to it.

“We believe politics has to be about more than the acquisition and use of power by any means necessary. Good policy does not justify bad or destructive politics. The AND Campaign believes in political engagement that is characterized by earnest conviction, humility and civility, and we encourage politicians and others in politics to reflect these characteristics as well.”

“We believe earnest conviction is important, because a politics of obfuscation and misdirection undermines the functioning of our politics. Politicians should say what they mean and mean what they say, and we will always try to do the same.”

“We believe humility is important, because politics and policy making are complicated, and the history of public policy is full of unintended consequences and misplaced priorities. We refuse to put the stamp of religious authority on prudential policy decisions. We hold convictions about what is best in our politics, but we hold these views with the understanding that we might be wrong. Politicians and others in politics should entertain that notion as well.”

“Finally, we believe that civility reflects a basic recognition of the dignity of our fellow citizens. A politics of contempt and disrespect will never be capable of delivering policies that promote the common good. We commit to respecting the dignity of those we disagree with to the best of our ability.”

We invite you to join The AND Campaign in our mission to educate and organize Christians for civic and cultural engagement that results in better representation, more just and compassionate policies and a healthier political culture.

NOTE :EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP IS PROVIDED FOR & CAMPAIGN BY OBAMA FOUNDATION AMBASSADOR TO AMERICA’S BELIEVERS” MICHAEL WEAR.

WEAR IS ALSO A WRITER AND THOUGHT LEADER FOR KELLER’S TGC ON WHOSE ADVISORY COUNCIL RUSSELL MOORE SERVES.

“As one of President Obama’s “ambassadors to America’s believers” (Buzzfeed), Michael directed faith outreach for President Obama’s historic 2012 re-election campaign. Michael was also one of the youngest White House staffers in modern American history: he served in the White House faith-based initiative during President Obama’s first term, where he led evangelical outreach and helped manage The White House’s engagement on religious and values issues, including adoption and anti-human trafficking efforts.”

“Today, Michael serves as Chief Strategist and member of the executive team for the AND Campaign. Michael is also the founder of Public Square Strategies LLC, a sought-after firm that helps religious organizations, political organizations, businesses and others effectively navigate the rapidly changing American religious and political landscape.”

CONCLUSION

Little can be done about the damaging impact of Russell Moore and other TGC and Keller affiliated people and organizations on the “POLITICS ” OF DENOMINATIONS like the SBC or the PCA. The damage is done for a generation. But we can recover our faith and our families and our funding from it’s left wing agenda. Leave the churches which embrace the dirty politics of Moore’s ERLC wed with left wing organizations like & Campaign. Protect your family and get BACK TO FAMILY DEVOTIONS PRAYER AND BIBLE STUDY. Forsake the message of TGC and its host of dirty allies and STOP GIVING TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that continues to be associated with them. And try to reach out to those drowning in the vast ocean of lies and deception aimed at wedding “Biblical Values ” with the false narratives of Critical Theory and “Social Justice”. This may include your pastor and your young adult children in “Christian ” educational institutions where these ideas have proliferated for over a decade now . Forget the institutions but engage the individuals with TRUTH and the WORD.

IS THIS THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST JEZEBEL BRIGADE ?

ERLC HEAD RUSSELL MOORE HAND PICKED KAREN SWALLOW FOR HIS CAST IN SBC CONTROVERSIES INVOLVING MALE OFFENDERS. NOW MOORE AND PRIOR HAVE TEAM UP WITH MANY REVOICE LEADERS IN “PELICAN PROJECT”.

By Rev Thomas Littleton 9/5/2020

Karen Swallow Prior likes to be controversial and to inject herself into the controversies of others in the Baptist world. Like a sort of evangelical Paris Hilton “Notorious KSP” (as she refers to herself on Twitter) is an “A list CELEBRITY ” who always seems to get invited to the party when there is a conservative Baptist’s BLOOD in the water. She led the protest and petition against Baptist icon Paige Patterson who stood accused at the height of the #MeToo movement. Now she stands as vocal and “insightful” critic calling for the total removal and cancellation of her former Liberty University boss Jerry Falwell Jr. Guilty or not, Prior enjoys the position of public opinion judge, jury and executioner for Baptist accused of wrongdoing.

https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/may/paige-patterson-swbts-letter-southern-baptist-women-sbc

“The letter comes from scores of Southern Baptist women, including leaders such as: Karen Swallow Prior, a Liberty University professor and research fellow with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Convention; Lauren Chandler, an author, worship singer, and wife of The Village Church pastor Matt Chandler; Jennifer Lyell, a vice president at SBC-affiliated B&H Publishing Group; Amanda Jones, a Houston church planter and daughter of Bible teacher Beth Moore; and Mary DeMuth, an author, speaker, and victims’ advocate.”

NOW PRIOR HAS NOW MOVED IN FOR THE KILL ON HER FORMER BOSS AT LIBERTY UNIVERSITY JERRY FALWELL JR.

“Karen Swallow Prior on Falwell Scandal & Evangelicalism’s Future”

In recent weeks Karen Swallow Prior, a former employee of Liberty University has appeared on CNN’s Anderson Cooper ( an openly gay CNN anchor) saying she is “Happy the Truth is Out” about Jerry Falwell Jr. Prior also appeared in/ on many other outlets like “Juicy Ecumenism ” with Mark Tooley claiming that the Falwell scandal is “microcosm of American evangelicalism”.

After Leaving Liberty University earlier this year “Notorious KPS “, as she fancies herself, is safely employed at Baptist institution SEBTS. She had previously not only been employed by the Falwell family but had listed her church membership at Thomas Road Baptist Church, former church of Jerry Falwell Sr. now pastored by another son Jonathan Falwell. (From her SEBTS bio ” Prior and her husband, Roy, are members of Thomas Road Baptist Church.” – Karen seemed to have been very comfortably entrenched for decades in the Falwell legacy before becoming one of it’s most outspoken critics. )

“HOW RAINBOW IS MY WORLD ? ” THE KAREN SWALLOW PRIOR TIES TO THE EVANGELICAL HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT.

Prior raise concerns among conservative evangelicals early on with her constant endorsements “on the edge “of gay issues and even attendance at a GAY FILM FESTIVAL. Upon her quiet , apparent departure from the ERLC ,Christian Research Network press release reported “Prior praised the “It Gets Better Campaign,” which is a pro-LGBT campaign targeted at youth and children and produced videos from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton encouraging kids in their homosexuality. Prior endorsed the use of gay porn propaganda in high schools and colleges. Prior headlined an LGBT film-fest and fundraiser called Level Ground.”

NOTE: THE PORNOGRAPHIC NATURE OF THE GAY FILM INDUSTRY IS NOT ON THE RADAR FOR DR. PRIOR. Attending such festivals does indicate a very high likelihood that she is viewing scenes of gay porn while celebrating the producers of it. As pointed out in the Christian Research Network new release quoted above, Prior is also an advocate of the Obama Administration endorsed, gay porn laced , “It Get’s Better” Campaign while Prior is an outspoken opponent of Christians involved in “straight pornography”. Such selective outrage which exempts the obvious problems with gay culture while voicing opposition to the sexual sins of other Christians is common place in the efforts of Dr Prior.

Below Example from KSP social media in which she promoted her participation with the Colson Center with another Revoice leader Matthew Lee Anderson.

NOTORIOUS KAREN AND THE GUYS AND GALS OF REVOICE

image.png

Again, Prior is well known for her role on the cutting edge of any thing borderline gay in the Baptist sphere. In 2018 she surfaced endorsing the controversial Revoice “LGBTQ Thriving” movement which arose out of SBC’s flagship seminary SBTS ran by Albert Mohler who is the mentor of Russell Moore who also promoted him into his role in the ERLC . Revoice also had roots in the St Louis Seminary CTS of the once conservative Presbyterian Church in America. The PCA has now split over the Revoice movement.

ABOUT US

“The Pelican Project is a non-profit subsidiary of A.C.T. International that seeks to equip churches and leaders in the historic Christian faith.”

PAGAN SYMBOLISM OF PELICAN PROJECT

Pelican Project uses the pagan symbol of a pelican feeding its young with blood form it’s self inflicted wounds to it’s breast which has been” adopted by early Christians” in what it calls an “ancient legend, during times of famine a mother pelican would pierce her breast with her own beak in order to feed her young with her blood.”

“Early Christians adopted the pelican as a symbol of Christ’s sacrificial love for the church. We embrace this powerful symbol as a reminder during this time of spiritual famine for many.”

THE TRUE ORIGINS OF THE PELICAN SYMBOL ARE ESOTERIC AND IT WAS CATHOLICS NOT CHRISTIANS WHO ADOPTED IT !

“The Hidden Meaning of the Pelican in Occultism”

FROM THE “ESCOTERIC OCCULTISM” WEBSITES

“The pelican is a bird with much esoteric symbolism and is revealed only to those in the 5th degree of the OTO.  On the Empress trump card of Crowley’s Thoth Tarot it shows a mother pelican feeding her young with her own blood.  Elsewhere on the card it reveals three suns, which inherently reveal some of the meaning concerning the Pelican and her young.”

“The Pelican represents Lucifer or the true god, her young represent the illuminati those of the light.   The Pelican feeding her young of its own blood represents the bloodline of the Nephilim and its perpetual existence.  In symbolic form it can be seen to replicate the imagery of the Egyptian scarab beetle and its resurrection in the Nile River. The beetle represents the suns pathway through the year and the three phases of the day.   This can be seen by the rising, peak, and sunset of the Sun; this mythos represents the birth of the sun its manhood and its death.”

RAINBOWS AND PELICANS -ORIGINS MATTER

Doubtless God made the rainbow and chose it as His symbol of promise but the concept of a mother pelican using self inflicted wounds to “nourish it’s young” is hardly a biblical picture of the Redeemer. Perhaps the use of the pagan pelican is an oversight or a product of Catholic sympathies from Russell Moore and Prior BUT USING A SYMBOL FOR LUCIFER to supposedly embody and symbolize Jesus is pretty edgy ignorance or just brazen blasphemy.

THE FALSE PROPHETS AND EUNUCHS OF THE PELICAN PROJECT COURT

Jezebel’s court is always furnished with false prophets of Baal and emasculated males but we will let the men listed on Pelican’s website decide which role they play.

“ADVISORY COUNCIL”

DR RUSSELL MOORE

NOTE: Russell Moore is Priors mentor who gave her validity among Southern Baptist by making her a Fellow at the ERLC. He also gave Prior COVER OVER HER REVOICE INVOLVEMENT during questioning ON THE FLOOR of at the 2018 SBC annual meeting in Dallas.

NOW IT SURFACES THAT MOORE IS WORKING WITH PRIOR’S PELICAN PROJECT WITH OVER HALF A DOZEN REVOICE LEADERS.

Russell Moore

“Russell is president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Prior to his election in 2013, he served as provost and dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where he also taught theology and ethics. He currently serves as Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics at Southern Seminary, and as a visiting professor of ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. His book Onward: Engaging the Culture Without Losing the Gospel was named Christianity Today’s Book of the Year in 2016.”

Thabiti Anyabwile

NOTE: Thabiti’s wife is also involved in Prior’s Pelican Project. He is a member of the left leaning TGC, a long time employee of 9MARKS founder Mark Dever, is a former Muslim and Cayman Islands pastor, and has been on the radical racial fringe of the SBC calling for reparations after speaking at the radically racist MLK /50 EVENT in 2018. This event was hosted by TGC and Moore’s ERLC. Most recently Thabiti has marched in DC with Baptist “radical” brand redistributionist and John Perkins disciple John Perkins during the height of the Black Lives Matter protest and riots.

“Thabiti is one of the pastors for Anacostia River Church. He has served as an elder and pastor in churches in NC, DC and the Cayman Islands. After a few years as a practicing Muslim, Thabiti was converted under the preaching of the gospel in the Washington, DC area. He is the author of several books, including: Exalting Jesus in LukeReviving the Black ChurchThe Decline of African-American Theology; and The Faithful Preacher. He blogs regularly at The Front Porch and Pure Church.”

MORE REVOICE IN PELICAN PROJECT

ANDY CROUCH

NOTE : Crouch is a former editor at CT and works for the CCCU which endorses pro LGBTQ compromise “Fairness for All” led by Mormons and the left wing evangelical group The & Campaign.

“Andy is partner for theology and culture at Praxis, an organization that works as a creative engine for redemptive entrepreneurship. Andy serves on the governing boards of Fuller Theological Seminary and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. For more than ten years he was an editor and producer at Christianity Today, including serving as executive editor from 2012 to 2016. His books include The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper PlaceStrong and Weak: Embracing a Life of Love, Risk and True FlourishingPlaying God: Redeeming the Gift of Power, and Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling.”

NOTE- Also former Christianity Today editor Mark Galli is on the Pelican Project Advisory Council .Galli is best know for his recent attacks on President Trump as he was departing his role as CT editor. Greg Jao of Intervarsity is on the Pelican Council as well. This campus ministry has played a huge supportive role of the Revoice LGBTQ Thriving in the church movement . Intervarsity Press publishes many of the books of the Revoice thought leaders like Mark Yarhouse, who is himself a CCCU leader. Other Members and Advisory Council connections will be visited in another article.

CONCLUSION

In 2019 the SBC ,with the help of Russell Moore and ERLC fellows like Karen Swallow Prior took a “Credentials Committee” designed for their annual Convention meetings and “Repurposed ” it as a standing “Committee” with investigative powers for complaints of sexual abuse and issues related to racial discrimination and mishandling /mistreatment of homosexual related issues.The Committee has the power to investigate and sanction and even strip credentials from SBC churches. They can also step into the ordination process of individual Baptist churches against the historic localized controls of the cooperating churches in the SBC. The Repurposed Credentials Committee was a so called “response to the #MeToo movement, aHuston Chronicle report series on sex abuse cover ups in the SBC and revelations” related to the Paige Patterson removal at SWBTS of which Prior was a key media player. Many problems exist and are even reported about by secular press like Inside Higher Ed coverage of former SWBTS professor Dr Robert Oscar Lopez.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/12/11/professor-who-sought-refuge-liberal-academe-southern-baptist-seminary-finds-out-why

Dr. Lopez who has advocated for and written multiple SBC statements for approval as “Resolutions” to address such issues as ex gay therapy and whistle blower protections has also worked to bring attention to the lack of SBC and the newly repurposed Committee to same sex related abuse which exist in both the Houston Chronicle investigations and is given a total pass in the SBC/ ERLC efforts to address abuse and to which they, Russell Moore and Karen Swallow Prior appear always willing to turn a blind eye.

Yet the Committee now represents far reaching centralized powers, which when politicized and abused, can carry out “search and destroy” missions on iconic figures like Patterson and the Falwell’s and Liberty with it’s reported $2 plus billion dollar endowment. To the victor go to the spoils. Now Notorious KSP is listed among the leaders of a new Alliance in Christian education located at SWBTS. This appears to be a pattern the outcomes of which are yet to be played out at Liberty once Jerry Jr is fully flushed out of power. Much more appears waiting in wings with the efforts of Prior to secure Falwell’s complete departure from Liberty. MORE to come on the players in those shadows.

The ERLC “resource ” explaining the Repurposed Credentials Committee:

A guide to understanding the Credentials Committee proposal

THE BAPTIST #METOO WATCHDOG COMMISSION IS COMPRISED OF A SELECT GROUP OF SBC LEADERS ,FEMALES, JOURNALIST AND OTHERS WHO AWAIT THE NEXT MALE OFFENDERS STORY TO BREAK THEN POUNCE ON IT AND BEAT THE DRUM FOR VICTIMS.

The problem is the political and progressive DNA of the Repurposed Credentials Committee and it’s circle of players like Prior have already proven problematic as they ignore the reality of Same Sex Abuses and the reports of abuse in general which occur among “insiders” from their own SBC networks.

The “selective outrage ” of “abuse advocates” like Russell Moore or Karen Swallow Prior becomes especially glaring while both work feverishly to promote the thriving of “LGBT Christianity”, shamelessly engage social change efforts and tout their own progressive politics . The effort REEKS OF INSINCERITY and provides no real service to the Gospel or the purity of the church in a challenging culture. The mantra of Moore “It’s a Gospel issue” has been used to the point of abuse as the much admonished “civility” and “winsome” tone called for by Moore in his ERLC narrative -always seems to vanish when the next Baptist offender, guilty or not, is identified for targeting and destruction.The call for repentance, mercy and redemptive grace goes out the window when the Spirit of Jezebel warned about in Revelation 2:20 in the church of Thyatira.

“Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”

Note this writer is not calling KSP the Jezebel the OT queen from I Kings and whose New Testament manifestation is warned of in Revelation 2:18-23. But this writer is pointing out Prior’s willingness on one had to seduce conservative Christians toward Revoice and other pro LGBTQ advocates while assuming the prophetic role decrying leaders whose sins she deems intolerable and outrageous. The entire Pelican Project brigade and it’s advisory council needs to be reminded of the remainder of Jesus warning regarding Jezebel. “…I will give to each one of you according to your works.”

THE DARK $$$ IN EVANGELICAL INSTITUTIONS

FEW HAVE FULLY GRASP THE DEPTH & SEVERITY OF THE MASSIVE INFLUX OF DARK MONEY IMPACTING CHRISTIAN INSTITUTIONS, MISSIONS ORGANIZATIONS, PULPITS AND VOTING HABITS. HERE ARE THE BULLET POINTS OF JUST ONE ORGANIZATION AND  THIS HARSH REALITY .

Rev Thomas Littleton                                                                                           9/1/2020

In 2010 this researcher discovered the tip of the proverbial iceberg related to outside money influencing ever deepening compromise among Christian leaders. Starting with the broadening of Faith Based Partnerships allowing federal tax dollars to be pumped into the denominations, missions organizations, churches, and local outreach ministries, the groundswell of funding has yet to crest as the evidence of it’s damaging impact becomes ever more undeniable.

TAX MONEY IN CHURCHES -BAD IDEA ESPECIALLY COME ELECTION TIME.

After over a decade of the untraceable billions in tax dollars for FBP- the Covid -19 response flooded yet another $7.3 billion in public funds into churches. For most people the problems these issues represent needs no commentary.

We move on.

By 2013 the wave of Social Justice false gospel was in full swing in conservative evangelical institutions like denominational missions organizations, universities, colleges and  seminaries. This information is detailed in the Thirty Pieces of Silver article “Is This The Evangelical Deep State? -parts one and two.

Now fast forward:

In the original expose’ it was documented that Kern Family Foundation ( KFF) and the Acton Institute had driven a “New Evangelical Social Engagement ” which was boasted about in the book by the same name. It also showed the “Social Justice” economics movement around which the curriculum and narrative is based, was in at least 13 major seminaries by that time. KFF confirmed the presence via email in at least 7 Christian universities as well.

 GOING OFF SHORE?

By 2014 it was confirmed in local Wisconsin (home  of KFF) media outlet that KFF was among the first American foundations to go off shore with part of its operations. Another justice driven and transformative funding source for evangelical leaders and organizations, the Templeton Foundation,reportedly followed Kern off shore to the Cayman Islands. Templeton is  a major funding organization for the work of left “justice ” leaning evangelicals like Tim Keller ,

NOTE: There is no tax incentive for a non profit philanthropic organization to go off shore. NONE. Unlike American and other corporations and wealthy individuals who use off shore accounts to shelter earnings and wealth from domestic taxation, a non profit DOES NOT NEED A TAX SHELTER.

WHY go off shore except to hide additional funding using the KFF as a “pass through”,? This practice was made popular by Soros led and funded organization and foundations to HIDE the dark source of funding coming in – going through and out of related organizations in the Soros activist philanthropy. If this is not what KFF and others are doing then they should explain their decision and open their book totally to the Christians whose denominations and institutions they are influencing. Now is a good time to start.

NOTE ALSO : One of the primary influences welcoming the KFF funding into Seminaries and Christian ministries is The Gospel Coalition. By 2014 TGC had one of its more popular Social Justice speakers and leaders living and serving as a pastor in the Cayman Islands. This is the same time frame in which KFF and Acton Institute boosted  efforts on the American Christian College/ University and Seminary campuses to fund “The New Evangelical Social ( Justice) Engagement.  QUESTION -What other accounts exist that might provide opportunity for need of management in the Cayman Islands ? This is not an accusation but a question that continues to arise given the choice to operate heavily influential philanthropic organizations outside the country and the view of those impacted by them.

PLENTY OF HORNE

The Rise of the Kern Foundation

“The Waukesha-based foundation has quietly grown to assets of $627 million, nearly as big as the Bradley Foundation. It also leans conservative.”

“The Kern Foundation employs some sophisticated investment strategies, including the creation of a Cayman Islands subsidiary. Not too many foundations get into off-shore accounts.”

“The foundation’s staff, besides Senske, includes James Rahn, a Director and President, who receives $332,727 per year for his services, while Program Directors including Karen WilkenRyan OlsonFredrick OaksGreg Forster ( Kerns Evangelical recipient vision caster via Oikonmia Network)and Kyle Bode receive between $89,423 and $124,908. …”

Kern has three major program areas:

WHY OFF SHORE IS A PROBLEM 

Off Shore operations make possible that  both the money IN and the money OUT leave no paper trail that can be obtained by inquiry of any kind, especially from the press or a concerned Christian.

NO ONE KNOWS WHOSE MONEY IS COMING IN OR WHERE IT GOES !

WHAT ELSE DOES KERN FAMILY FOUNDATION FUND?

The next issue is clear when we ask “What other causes does the KFF organization fund?”

PRO LGBTQ EDUCATION ORG TEACH FOR AMERICA FUNDED BY KFF

https://www.greatermilwaukeefoundation.org/grants/grants-at-work/teach-for-america/

“Teach for America is not a silver bullet, but it is one important component to an overall educational reform strategy in a community,” said Jim Rahn, president at the Kern Family Foundation, which invested $1.3 million and helped bring the program to Milwaukee. ”

“Kelly Ramirez, Program Director at the Kern Family Foundation, joined Ian Dahlinghaus, a first year corps member, for #TFAWEEK, teaching on character and personal identity to high school students at Saint Anthony High School. Students reflected on qualities of good character that resonate deeply with them.”

The KFF funding for Teach for America goes back for many years and is still current in 2019/2020

SEBTS – SBC SEMINARY IN WAKE FORREST

SEBTS, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forrest is home to the KFF funded the “Intersect Project” which has received multiple Kern grants since its establishment. The Intersect Project’s work includes multiple activist causes and Diversity and Inclusion focused on social justice using Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality (hence the name), Black Liberation Theology,  and Third Way political engagement narratives.

“Southeastern welcomed over 400 pastors, students and members of the local community on the evening of Friday, March 13th for an evening of conversation addressing faithful interaction with today’s cultural issues.”

“A partnership between The Kern Family Foundation and SEBTS opened the door to examine these topics.”

LAYING SIEGE TO CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

“The war against conservative values moves from Christian college campuses, to private K-12 schools. Is homeschooling next?”

“AFTER THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WOKE CULTURE HAS ALL BUT DESTROYED

KFF HOPES CONFIRMED BY IACE

One of the leaders of the IACE “Alliance” confirms the intentions for the new organization to be a hopeful “GOOD FIT FOR KERN FAMILY FOUNDATION…AND OTHER SIMILAR FUNDING”.

KFF  IS FUNDING TRANSFORMING OF HEALTH CARE EDUCATION WITH ITS JUSTICE DRIVEN “FAITH AND WORKS” FOCUS “FOR THE COMMON GOOD”.

“Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Institute for the Transformation of Medical Education”

NOTE : $37.8 MILLION IS A HUGE GRANT AND THE PROGRAM IS TO ESTABLISH A TEMPLATE AND AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION FOR TRANSFORMING MEDICAL EDUCATION ACROSS ACADEMIA.

https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/medical-college-of-wisconsin-receives-37.8-million-from-kern-family

“The Kern Institute was established in early 2017 through a transformative investment to the Medical College of Wisconsin from the Kern family, the Kern Family Foundation”

“Mission”

“The Kern Institute is dedicated to advancing a new foundation for medical education based on character, competence, and caring. We are advancing innovation by applying human-centered design methodology and the principles of the entrepreneurial mindset: curiosity, connections, and creating value.”

“The Kern Institute is supported by five pillars dedicated to transforming faculty, students, and curriculum, as well as fostering culture and systems change and cross-pillar work.

WHAT IS THE BIG PROBLEM? WITH KFF OFF SHORE SINCE AT LEAST 2013 -NO ONE ON THE OUTSIDE BEING INFLUENCED BY THESE TRANSFORMATIONAL VISIONS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION, AMERICAN SEMINARIES AND EVEN MEDICAL SCHOOLS CAN KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM OR WHERE ELSE IT IS GOING .

FUNDING OPTIONS THAT EMPOWER LIBERAL EDUCATION.

Kern Family Foundation is  among the funders of the Charter Schools Growth Fund are a who’s who of corporate and foundation elite.

KFF President James Rhan  works on the Board of the Charter Schools Growth Fund  along side Allan Golston, president of the United States Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation . Charter schools are problematic on multiple levels mixing public and private funding and are popular with the LGBTQ and Islamic education lobby groups. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is also flooding evangelical world with their global agenda driven $$$. Bill Gates and his global pandemic partner Dr. Anthony Fauci  work very closely with Francis Collins-the  Bio-Logos founder  which receives Templeton funding. If you do not know much about the politics of global philanthropy – it is suffice to say it is left agenda and tends to cluster as organizations follow others in their industry with funding.

KFF FUNDED THE  OVERTLY POLITICAL THIRD WAY BOOK OF SEBTS PROVOST AND INTERSECT PROJECT LEADER.

Why is KFF investing in the political posture of evangelicals?

“Letters to An American Christian”

“In Letters to an American Christian, Bruce Riley Ashford, author of One Nation Under God, addresses overarching issues of the relationship of Christianity and politics, speaks to the way historic Christian belief informs specific hot-button political issues, and challenges readers to take seriously both our heavenly and earthly citizenships”

“I wish to thank Devin Maddox and Combs of B&H Publishing Group for their commitment to this project and the Kern Family Foundation whose encouragement and support enabled this project to become a reality .”

Ashford also list these Action and Kern thinkers and employees in his appreciation :

“for critical feedback, research editing and proofreading

“JUSTICE VOTERS “: KERN AND ACTON WORK TO DRIVE EVANGELICAL VOTERS LEFT

CONCLUSION

The Kern Family Foundation funding is not the only problematic funding coming into the evangelical institutions, ministries, denominational structures and ministries but it is one of the most commonly found. The connection to the KFF programs and curriculum and the “social justice” shift in focus in conservative seminaries is undeniable. Other funding organizations with global and justice /common ground for common good/ human flourishing  narratives have become all too common place among our institutions. Many other disturbing and agenda driven funding sources exist in addition to KFF grants. These others include Faith Based Partnership,  John Templeton Foundation which funds “religious” work among those who seek to wed science and faith and subscribe to no sacred text”.Also we find the funding of George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Gates  is at the epicenter of the Pandemic and Vaccine Industries and is VERY CLOSE  partnership with evangelicals like Rick Warren, Francis Collins of Bio Logos and with funding organizations like “The Gathering” ). Pro LGBTQ activist billionaire Paul Singer is buying up evangelical “real estate ” in the form of & Campaign  National Immigration Forum and and many TGC leaders. The National Christian Foundation near Atlanta Georgia is another organization supporting organizations buying into FBP funds by providing additional support which has exploded from $1 billion over 24 years to over a $ billion and 1/2 per year since around 2010.

Virtually no public accounting of the problems associated with these grants is made by many of the recipients of these funds. Little or no availability of where massive “pass through ” funding is coming from in organizations whose operations make them perfect gathering places for multiple unseen donors. In the case of KFF and Templeton- being willing and able to operate “off shore” makes these issues of even greater concern.

One day when the history of modern Christianity in America is written -the foot note is likely to read: ” Many committed Christians and organizations withstood the liberal theology and left wing politics of the times until eventually most if not all resistance gave way to the allure of big easy money with deadly strings and agendas attached”.
