On April 1-2, 2011, the Harvard Extension Service and Learning Society will host, at the Harvard Northwest Science Building, the "Social Transformation Conference". The upcoming event has already generated considerable controversy, and Truth Wins Out, a "Non-profit organization that defends the GLBT community against anti-gay misinformation campaigns", plans to run a full page ad in the Harvard Crimson, on Thursday March 31st, protesting the event--which is being billed as advancing the "Seven Mountains" program. One of the scheduled speakers is linked (intimately) with a professed co-author of Uganda's so-called "kill the gays bill", and the 7 Mountains movement is already impacting US national politics. Below are 7 facts you should know about 7M movement and its speakers lined up for the Harvard conference.

Prominently featured on the Social Transformation Conference website is a professionally-produced video on the "Seven Mountains mandate", which instructs "Bible believing" Christians to seek control of seven key sectors of society: education, government, media, business, arts & entertainment, religion, and the family. According to the video, the "church" must regain control of those sectors, which are now occupied by "darkness". [below: Seven Mountains video]

The Seven Mountains concept is a vision for the total eradication of secular society and church-state separation. Os Hillman and Lance Wallnau, two of the scheduled Social Transformation Conference speakers, are in the vanguard of promoting the 7M idea, which Wallnau calls "a template for warfare."

The 'Seven Mountains movement' is a newly formed global Protestant mega-denomination that has coalesced out of independent charismatic Christianity; Four of the speakers, Hillman, Wallnau, Pat Francis, and Bill Hamon, are all apostles within the biggest organizational body in this movement, the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), launched in 2001 [see footnote #1], and three are on the ICA's elite "Apostolic Council".

7 Notable facts about the Social Transformation Conference speakers

---Three of the apostles, Lance Wallnau, Os Hillman, and Bill Hamon, are on record promoting virulently antigay rhetoric. Two have labeled homosexuality an "abomination" and one, Bill Hamon, advocates the death penalty not only for homosexuality but for all sex outside of marriage.

---Two of the apostles, Os Hillman and Pat Francis, are close colleagues of ICA apostle Julius Oyet, a professed architect and co-author of Uganda's Anti Homosexuality Bill--that would impose the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality" and require citizens, upon pain of three-year prison terms, to report all homosexual activity to police and government authorities. Hillman has played a role in the American evangelical financing of Oyet. In a March 2010 interview, Julius Oyet stated that the Seven Mountains movement was successfully "infiltrating" its ideology into the grassroots of Ugandan society.

---All four apostles promote the claim that witchcraft is a pressing contemporary societal problem.

---Three of these apostles, Hamon, Francis, and Wallnau, claim that families and even entire people groups can be plagued by "generational curses" incurred by ancestral involvement in idolatry and witchcraft.

---These same three apostles also serve on the ICA's elite Apostolic Council, the ICA's accountability agency, along with top founders of the movement who are on record (with books in-print) advocating the burning of native art, Catholic religious relics, and Books of Mormon. ICA leaders also
