Group That Runs Fundamentalist Bible Studies For Cabinet & Congress Growing

[Initech]

Ralph Drollinger, who runs fundamentalist Bible studies for dozens of members of Congress and President Trump’s Cabinet every week, said in a fundraising letter this month that his group “has been blessed by God with extraordinary growth beyond our wildest imaginings in foreign nations across the globe and most notably in former Soviet Bloc countries.”

As RWW has reported, Drollinger’s Capitol Ministries is dedicated to teaching public officials a very conservative take on the Bible. Drollinger teaches that “the absolutely critical preeminent duty of the Church in an institutionally separated society” is “to convert the soul and disciple—Christianize—the leaders of the State and its citizenry.” In his recent letter he cites a biblical charge to evangelize kings and writes, “We reach leaders not because their souls are more precious to God, but because their influence upon the world is so great.”

Drollinger says he and Trump share “a Biblical understanding of the issues” and that Trump sends him handwritten notes praising his weekly written Bible studies. “I just love the guy,” he says. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, among Drollinger’s students in the Cabinet, was the headliner at a major Capitol Ministries fundraising event in February.

We noted last fall that Drollinger is aggressively expanding his operations both at the local government level in the U.S. and in national capitals around the world. His April 4 letter includes some details about the latter:

No wonder evangelicals love this dipshit so much. RIP separation of church and state. 1789 - 2017. You will be missed.

Poll: White evangelical support for Trump at record high

White evangelical support for President Trump has reached a record high, according to a new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute.

Seventy-five percent of white evangelical respondents in the poll said they view Trump favorably, while just 22 percent said they view him unfavorably. That marks a significant gap of more than 30 percentage points more than Trump’s favorability among the general population, which the survey found was at 42 percent.

The president’s favorability with white evangelicals in the poll has steadily risen over time, with his previous high being at 74 percent in February 2017. His favorability with the group hasn’t fallen below 65 percent since his inauguration, according to PRRI.
Evangelical leaders have served as advisers and surrogates for Trump throughout his presidency.
