This is important given all the radical right is doing in our state.

Beware of Max Myers' "Strategy to Bring Transformation to Pennsylvania"

How does a regressive and theocratic-minded movement market itself with progressive-sounding jargon? The gubernatorial campaign of Max Myers is a textbook example. Myers has spent the last six years leading the Global School of Supernatural Ministry under Randy Clark's Apostolic Network of Global Awakening, part of the Revival Alliance network that "commissioned" Todd Bentley and includes aggressively anti-abortion and anti-gay activist Lou Engle. Myers is running for governor as a Democrat and kicked off a two-day media campaign at an LGBT community center in Philadelphia on Monday. At his next stop, at the state capitol in Harrisburg, Myers told reporters that "he has a strategy to bring transformation to Pennsylvania," although he would not reveal the details.

Transformation is a buzzword that resonates with people across the nation who have embraced the teachings of the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

"Transformation" in the context of Global Awakening and the NAR has a different meaning than what one might expect, and there is abundant evidence that Myers is talking about the NAR's definition.

I've recently written a report on the meaning of "transformation" in the NAR for Political Research Associates' "Colonizing Africa's Values" report. (Start on page 51. Report can be download from this page.)

There was a trend a few years ago where a number of right wing fundamentalist candidates, who hated public schools, were running for school boards and purposefully hiding their true intent.

I know nothing about him, and I am very glad to hear this....although I have a feeling that when the campaigns get going, this will not be hidden. But now I know. And so will everyone I can tell.
