Jim DeMint to speak at Oak Initiative event
One of the more prominent leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation is holding a conference in June--with a United States Senator as one of the keynote speakers. Rick Joyner of Morningstar Ministries is holding a conference on June 2 at his headquarters in Fort Mill, South Carolina--20 minutes south of me. The event is One of the keynote speakers is Senator Jim DeMint. The event is cosponsored by Joyner's political activism organization, the Oak Initiative, and a religious-right outfit I previously haven't heard about, Freedom Congress. Indeed, DeMint is a frequent contributor to Freedom Congress' Website. Other scheduled speakers are Jerry Boykin and Oliver North. We already knew there was a lot of overlap between the tea party and the religious right. But this is one of the first instances I've seen where a high-profile teabagger (and yes, that description fits DeMint--he's one of the closest things to a simon-pure teabagger in the Senate) has spoken at a dominionist/NAR event.
