The Democrats in the Delaware state House of Representatives are in full damage control mode over a tribute given back in January to C. Peter Wagner, a prominent leader of the New Apostolic Reformation.  It would seem inconceivable at first glance that a legislative body owned by Dems (they have an 11-seat majority in that chamber) would give any sort of honor to one of the proponents of a fascist brand of Christianity.  Nonetheless, Wagner is openly touting this as an endorsement of his efforts to raise up an army of "overcoming" Christians who, in submission to self-proclaimed "apostles" and "prophets," will take over the world and put down all resistance to it in order to bring Jesus back.

Earlier today, the state house Democratic caucus put out a statement--which I got in an email along with several others who have written about this snafu--saying that Wagner is seriously misinformed.  

Under the House tribute process, each individual Representative is responsible for making a request on behalf of his or her constituency. Discretion for what constitutes an acceptable request is left to each individual Representative rather than subjecting each tribute to a review that could be interpreted as partisan or vindictive. The Speaker of the House is elected by the entire House and his signature appears on each tribute. That signature is a formality and is electronically applied
