ON THE RECORD: Feb 2, 2014: Renee Nal (Illinois Review) asks "Is Christianity being hijacked by progressives?" Nal wisely notices that "An effort is underway, and has been for some time, to persuade Christian Americans on various policy issues, including same-sex marriage, extending unemployment benefits, and anti-Israel initiatives, by using an oftentimes cherry-picked and/or unusual interpretation of biblical teachings." Nal says "The organizations seeking to sway public opinion are well-coordinated and often times funded by extreme leftist groups, such as the Open Society Foundation." Napp Nazworth of the Christian Post discussed one of those efforts: “Evangelical leaders supporting immigration reform praised the new set of principles on immigration reform released by House Republicans after their winter meeting.” The “Evangelical Immigration Table” leaders “hail from the left and right of the political spectrum,” Nazworth wrote, “including leaders of Focus on the Family, National Association of Evangelicals, Sojourners and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.”-------------
