The [Ohio Restoration Project] is led by so-called Christians who have a plan for Ohio. The project will target 2,000 pastors throughout the state to become “patriot pastors.” These patriot pastors will be briefed on a specific political agenda and asked to submit names of their parishioners in order to increase a database to 300,000 names. These pastors will be asked to place voter guides in their church pews. (Story – anonymous registration required.)

I had all kinds of things to say here, but frankly, the good Reverend Dr. Lentz nails it so much more concisely than I would have, saying in part:

This is not America’s mission. This is frightening, diabolical stuff for non-Christians and Christians alike. It is blasphemous to claim that any earthly kingdom is God’s kingdom. The theological foundations of this movement are vacuous. They are set on the sands of opportunism, self-righteousness and greed.

The only thing I’d add is a question: wouldn’t this kind of campaign expressly void the tax exempt status of all participating churches?
