THIS WEEK IN GOD.... First up from the God Machine this week is an interesting initiative being launched by Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.), the founder and leader of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, who doesn't much care for the separation of church and state. Forbes isn't just pushing prayer resolutions on Capitol Hill; he has plans to take his show on the road.
Now Forbes has set up a nonprofit Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation to raise money to franchise the prayer-caucus concept to state legislatures. These affiliates will exist to monitor and oppose legislation, agency rulings and court opinions that uphold church-state separation. Mississippi has already signed on, and Virginia and Florida are working on it.
