Second New Leader Resigns From the Christian Coalition

For the second time in little more than a year, the
Christian Coalition of America named a new leader and
then removed him before he ever fully took the reins
of the conservative political advocacy group.

The Rev. Joel Hunter, pastor of a nondenominational
megachurch in Longwood, Fla., said he resigned as the
coalition's incoming president because its board of
directors disagreed with his plan to broaden the
organization's agenda. In addition to opposing
abortion and same-sex marriage, Hunter, 58, wanted to
take on such issues as poverty, global warming and
HIV/AIDS.

"My position is, unless we are caring as much for the
vulnerable outside the womb as inside the womb, we're
not carrying out the full message of Jesus," he said
in a telephone interview yesterday. "They began to
think this might threaten their base or evaporate some
of their support, and they said they just couldn't go
there."
