In the latest Intelligence Report there are a number of articles that will be of particular interest to the community fighting dominionism:
The Fabulist Of note, Cameron's group--the Family Research Institute--is so virulently anti-LGBT it is considered an actual hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the same as the Klan or neo-Nazi groups. One of the proposals Cameron seriously bandied about in the 80's was locking up all LGBT individuals in concentration camps as an "AIDS prevention measure".
This is one of the first treatments I've seen (outside of apologetics pages or sites like Talk2Action that focus specifically on dominionism) of dominionist infiltration and hijacking of church denominations. This article in particular focuses on the Chaldecon Foundation's attempts at targeting already conservative Christian churches to convert them to full blown Christian Reconstructionism--in methods eerily similar to how the Southern Baptists were hijacked, and how splits have been forced in other congregations. This will be especially useful reading for those who are researching this (I know several people at Talk2Action have discussed this). And to show an example of "Action" in action:
This article is an excellent backgrounder for those unfamiliar with Cameron's poor research record, and focuses on the work of Dr. Gregory Herek--a psychology professor who now devotes a sizable chunk of his time to specifically debunking Cameron and his bad research. This shows a good example on how even folks more in the "research" end of things can take action--by providing the ammunition to debunk dominionist claims, among other things. :3
