Harry Jackson is a "prophet" on C. Peter Wagner's ACPE, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, along with other luminaries such as Cindy Jacobs and Lou Engle, who seems to support a Ugandan piece of legislation that would allow the execution of gay Ugandans.

Jackson's fellow ACPE member Lou Engle has recently come under fire for and is trying to backpedal from one of his recent stunts, staging a rally in Kampala, Uganda, that many observers saw as promoting Uganda's now internationally notorious (and internationally condemned) so-called "kill the gays bill" under consideration by Uganda's parliament.

But Harry Jackson has no reservations - he's endorsed the ministry of evangelical glam-thrash rocker Bradlee Dean, who during a recent radio show appearance suggested that executing homosexuals was the most moral thing to do.

Getting around to the question "what does it mean to be on the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders ?" well... It means you talk with God, or at least tell other people that you talk with God. And based on what God tells you, you then confer with the other twenty to thirty ACPE members and hash out standardized prophetic utterances that get emailed out to the masses and posted on various websites. Sarah Palin's prayer group leader is, by the way, a member of ACPE.

As a more general point, ACPE is part of the New Apostolic Reformation, a worldwide movement within non-denominational and charismatic churches, and one of its major features is the claim that homosexuals are gay because they're possessed by, well, "gay demons."

This isn't just Bishop Harry Jackson's belief, it's doctrine within the New Apostolic Reformation, whose leaders are arguably in the forefront of anti-gay organizing within Christianity.

And, it doesn't stop there. New Apostolic Doctrine holds that demons are everywhere and cause just about everything bad that happens including natural disasters, wars, plagues, and also physical ailments including headaches, dandruff, and gynecological complaints.

So, obviously, casting out a "headache demon" cures chronic headaches, and so on. This demon-based health care paradigm is being set up, by the NAR, on an international level as an alternative health care system.

Along with Lou Engle, Bishop Harry Jackson was a participant in the Family Research Council's December 16, 2009 "Prayercast" against health care reform. It makes perfect sense - if physical ailments can be cured by casting out demon spirits, why does America need government-sponsored healthcare ?

It gets weirder still.

During the 1990's C. Peter Wagner, who is arguably the most powerful or at least the most influential leader in the NAR at present, made a video presentation in which he explained that the early 1990's economic downturn in the Japanese economy happened because Japanese emperors have intercourse with a sky-goddess who, speculated Wagner, might be a succubus.

Far be it for me to try and judge normalcy but let's just say that Wagner's succubus-based economic theory was a bit off the beaten path.

Introducing this video talk was Jack Hayford, founder of the Church on the Way in Van Nuys, CA. Hayford recently served a stint as head of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, Amy Semple McPherson's church, and which has between 5 and 10 million members worldwide.

Anyway, lest you think ACPE or the New Apostolic Reformation is marginal, take a look at some of the national Republican leaders that ACPE member Lou Engle can be found praying with (or over). In effect, Engle has become the Republican Party's new, unofficial prayer leader, and that's notable because, like more or less every NAR leader, Engle promotes the gay demon theory. He doesn't himself cast out gay demons though. It's a talent like any other. Some have it and some don't. Engle's son Jesse is the Engle family gay demon casting specialist.

According to Engle, he and Kansas Republican Senator Sam Brownback were once condo-mates for seven months following a fire that destroyed Brownback's Washington, DC apartment.

ACPE member Cindy Jacobs, who is fond of casting out demons of homosexuality, lust, perversion, and addiction from entire crowds of hundreds of people can also be found, like Engle, up onstage with major figures in the GOP.
