Rev. Katherine Ragsdale of Political Research Associates reports that Minns spoke about the cleavage to a major gathering of the Christian Right at the Values Voters Summit on September 12 in Washington, D.C. Mainline churches are set to destroy timeless values that formed U.S. churches, he said, and conservative teachings on homosexuality and life are "core values" that are "universal, timeless, and non-negotiable." An audio of his speech is here.
Minns defies the stereotype of the conservative evangelical or conservative Catholic leaders of the Religious Right. But he epitomizes a dimension of the Religious Right that has been there all along, and is emergent, significant, and not going away.
