Rick Perry Joins Capitol Ministries Project to Disciple Local Officials to Right-Wing Biblical WorldviewFormer Texas Gov. and U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry is partnering with a religious-right effort to disciple 500,000 local officials into a conservative Christian worldview and shape public policies in 40,000 U.S. localities. Perrys undertaking was announced in a June letter to supporters of Capitol Ministries from the organizations president Ralph Drollinger, whose weekly Bible studies teach members of Trumps Cabinet and the U.S. Congress that the Bible instructs public officials to support right-wing social, economic, environmental, and criminal justice policies.
I am passionate about Capitol Ministries efforts to reach todays 500,000 elected local government leaders with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and disciple them with the Word of God, so they may form a Christian worldview in their hearts, Perry is quoted in the Drollinger letter. I see this effort as critically important. Americas ideological future hangs in the balance.
Drollinger and Capitol Ministries have aggressive expansion plans in multiple directions. Drollinger has previously announced Capitol Ministries goal of establishing discipleship ministries in 200 nations, all 50 states, and all 40,000 localities in the U.S. With help from Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Capitol Ministries is expanding its presence among high-level officials in foreign capitals. Perry has become the groups spokesman for Local Government Ministries.
As part of the partnership, Perry has begun emailing local officials offering to send them a weekly Bible study taken from Drollingers Oaks in Office, a guidebook for conservative Christian public officials.

Spiritual materialism is that process by which the ego grasps at the accomplishments and progress of the self upon the spiritual path. Using the spiritual path to extend and glorify the ego.
