In light of Trump's tweet of deference to Saudi Arabia, note a delegation of American Christian fundamentalists met with MBS on Sept 10, the day that the transcript of Jamal Khashoggi's dismembering was published. The murderer is using them for positive publicity.

"New York Times bestselling author Joel Rosenberg led the delegation that included Rev. Johnnie Moore, a co-chairman of President Donald Trump's Evangelical Advisory Council; Larry Ross, longtime spokesman for Billy Graham; Ambassador Ken Blackwell who served as US Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council; Michael Little, former president of CBN; Pastor Skip Heitzeg, senior pastor of Calvary Albuquerque … ; and Wayne Pederson, a member of the board of directors of the National Religious Broadcasters." (www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/israel…)

According to @emmillerwrites and @jackmjenkins’ reporting at @rns, the people involved have not secured government approval for the plan, nor do they seem to be clear on the process to get approval.

17. Relationship-building events like a prayer breakfast or 1-on-1 meetings across partisan lines or even with dictators may lead to positive breakthroughs. But when the evangelist is in a position of power, the evangelized may be looking for what they can get in exchange.

18. A Senator or Representative doing "relationship-building" with dictators or any foreign leader will want to be realistic about the good influence they are having as compared to how the leader is using them to further their (possibly evil) aims.

Does accreditation from the @ecfa ensure an organization's responsible use of donor dollars? https://world.wng.org/2019/09/an_easy_a  @MichaelReneau investigates

An easy ‘A’

Does approval from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability offer Christians useful information about an organization’s financial discipline?

"Wayne Pederson, an executive with Far East Broadcasting Company, serves on the NRB board. He also serves as ECFA’s treasurer." Conflict of interest.

He also just went to Saudi Arabia and hung out with those who murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi. https://twitter.com/AndyRowell/status/1172221257481211904

On "big government" Both Democrats and Republicans should be wary of government bureaucracy. Indeed, huge government programs can be inefficient or totalitarian. But Republicans should be just as passionate and practical about addressing injustice and the needs of the vulnerable.

As a graduate school professor, I recommend: good books and articles and oral lecture material; graded regular short writing assignments to internally process the reading and share with peers; and facilitated extensive class discussion for oral processing (in person or online).
