After an inquiry by The New Civil Rights Movement, a Republican U.S. Congressman has withdrawn from delivering a keynote address at a Christian Bible conference hosted by a far right wing pastor known for calling for the death of gay people. Freshman Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) in August was scheduled to deliver a speech titled "The Bible: Equipping the Man of God for Politics and the Culture War," at Pastor Kevin Swanson's Bible Family Conference.

NCRM profiled Congressman Johnson on Tuesday in an article titled, "Congressman Tied to Anti-Gay Groups Scheduled to Speak at ‘Kill the Gays’ Pastor’s Conference."

After an email conversation with Rep. Johnson's office, his office says he has withdrawn from the conference. As of this writing his name no longer appears on the schedule for Swanson's conference.

Johnson's office initially told NCRM that "Congressman Johnson was invited to speak to a Christian conference in August. He was unaware of Mr. Swanson's participation and of his previous comments. Once this was brought to the congressman's attention, he immediately denounced those comments and withdrew his participation."

1. "The Bible: Equipping the Man of God for Politics and the Culture War,"

Let that sink in "The Bible: Equipping the Man of God for Politics and the Culture War,"


Now if only the concerned Rep. Johnson would reveal what is this great speech you were going to give.



Culture Wars, prey tell what is that ALL about???
