Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's closed-door meeting Tuesday with 900 top evangelical and social conservative leaders will be a time of questions and answers on issues such as the Supreme Court, sanctity of life and religious freedom, according to an organizer, who said a similar meeting is being discussed also with Trump's rival Hillary Clinton.
"Of the more than 50,000 questions that came in, many of them focused on those three issues. Others focused on issues related to leadership, national security, and faith," Johnnie Moore, the spokesperson for My Faith Votes, a non-partisan organization focused on engaging the 25 million Christians who did not vote in 2012 and one of the two groups behind the meeting, told The Christian Post.
"We democratized the solicitation of questions so that this meeting would be even more representative of Christians in America than the 900 people in attendance," Moore said. The meeting, "A Conversation About America's Future with Donald Trump and Ben Carson," will be held in New York City. Both organizers My Faith Votes and United in Purpose seek to bring about cultural change in America based on Judeo-Christian principles and motivate and mobilize people of faith in the democratic process through responsible citizenship.
Asked how Trump intends to ease concerns of evangelical leaders, Moore said the purpose of the meeting is not to persuade anyone, "but to better introduce everyone to one another."

Oh I joyfully agree Onyx!
God bless this good man!
If God is for him, Joy......( and I humbly and prayerfully believe He is!)
...then who can be against him....( absolutely no one of significance!)
I hope and pray Christians wake up and realize if they don’t vote for Trump, Hillary wins. If Hillary wins,their beloved
churches will have to go PC and not teach anything in the
Bible that may upset someone or else they will be fined for
hate speech.
That is downright ludicrous.
I’d have to find another church, I just couldn’t handle that level of stupid.
>>>>ease concerns of evangelical leaders<<<<
What concerns would those be? Have these people been living under a rock for the past seven years?
The Devil Incarnate and his Legions control the Government and this is supposed to be some big deal. Give me a break.
Edie,
What does the “w” in your tagline stand for?
I think these are the same misguided 'christians' who voted for O'Dumbo...twice. And how in hell can a Beck 'worshipper' be called a Christian? Same goes for the two time O'Dumbo voters.
“I am just sick at the Republicans who show their disregard for the voters in their party. I may just go into hibernation until after the convention...well maybe not. I wonder how I can fight them?”
Send postcards
I’m thinking that the Postcard Monday campaign on social media did some good. Now is a good time for all the GOPe NeverTrumpers and the evangelical pearl-clutches to be bombarded again.
I’m with you darlin Onyx.
Vote Trump
If not Trump, then Hillary - he would have to come out as Satan incarnate for them to have a valid reason to turn their backs on him.
That has more to do with churches getting government money to accept and house “refugees.” This is why the Catholic Church pushes illegal immigration. Follow the money! Most churches are hurting financially. Sadly, many are now secularists. Globalists.
Trump has been endorsed by the Grahams, Jeffries and Peterson! I think Osteen endorsed also. Trump has big churches. The older churches are open to selfish $$$ and humanism...churches who manifest, “What does God have to do with it.” They try to hide it, but most Christians see thru it.
Evangelicals and Charismatics are very supportive of Trump. They get what is happening in our nation.
Trump has large support among Christians. Once they discovered that Cruz’s 7 Mountain Dominionism faith is an unscriptual cult, they dropped him.
“at least they are Christian”
That is a huge lie. Perhaps some are, but the majority are not church going, believing individuals. Look at the thug mentality wherever they live. I find that argument to be a strawman. It sounds nice, but reality says differently.
“I have talked to several Cruzbots that say they will vote 3rd party, do a write in or not vote.”
They need to wake the heck up. Study Trump’s list of Supreme Court choices. Stellar, Conservative to the core.
If Hillary gets in, our guns will be confiscated in the first 100 days. There will be no USA or Constitution. The NAU will be installed, negating our Constitutional guaranteed rights.
They are delusional if they think otherwise. Open borders will be flooded with more illegals and Jihadis. There will be nothing to stop their entry. We will not be able to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
For the love of our nation, stop this lunacy! Get onboard to prevent the reign of Evil Hillary! There will be no more elections. This is it. Our last chance to save our nation and the Constitution.
Trump will be as David who slew Goliath. David was imperfect but forgiven for his love of God. His faith is well known, as were his flaws. God loved David and used him and his line to bring forth Jesus Christ. Only the boy David took Goliath on. The rest of the “leaders” cowered in his presence. David killed him.
We want assurances that 1 PRO LIFE/PRO HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE, 2 de-fund both Obamacare and Planned Parenthood, 3 stop illegals and muslim 4 Pro 1st Amendment stop the persecution of Christian’s by the LBGT and muslims. 5 Stop the gay agenda dead in it’s tracks. 6 AMERICANS will come first. Will be priorities and judges will be appointed based on Judeo-Christian values and are VERY CONSERVATIVE.
Those are my top 6, with PRO LIFE/PRO HETEROSEXUAL, ANTI-LBGT, muslim agendas and judges being the top.
And that he KEEPS his promises. Because at this point all they are, are promises. You have to have a congress that is on the same page. GET RID OF THE RINOS. Clean house, audit every agency, get rid of those not needed. DEPORT ILLEGALS. Build wall, post armed guards, put in sound detection for tunnel builders, and prosecute the criminals and drug smugglers.
He is going to have to dismantle the Establishment Blue Blood GOPe RINOS. With the truth, not lies. CONSERVATISM and CONSTITUTION must rule.
NEVER GIVE TO NATIONAL GOP ORGS THEY PROP UP RINOS, GIVE TO YOUR CANDIDATE!
It comes down for many of us that we are sick and tired of having to choose between the lesser of 2 evils. Which we had to do with McNasty and Rino Romney. So we sat home as it was NOT Biblical for us to vote for them.
I have a new US Rep to chose, and the leader is a Blue Blood, while the Conservative, family, pro GOD candidate gets ignored. Last one touted these values but changed, moved to much to the left once he got to DC. VERY tired of the lies and the moving left after being elected. If we can’t trust you to keep your word, why should we vote for you?
you got us Obama
No, I held my nose and voted for the 2 fake conservatives knowing DUMBO was 110 times worse. Hildabeast is even worse than DUMBO. What I probably badly stated was why many sat home. But we have reached a tipping point and want more than the lesser of 2 evils. Isn’t that why you are choosing Trump because he promises to not be an establishment Blue Blood RINO?
I read the articles, and Cruz still is sending the same message he sent as a candidate on the issues. Don’t come back with that birther crap, there have been enough articles posted that say he is a US Citizen, only those to close minded refuse to believe it.
Trump may not be my first choice, but if he’ll keep his promises to the best of his ability he may sway me his direction. I want more than sound bytes that tickle the ear. I want to see him do as he promises, bring American Jobs back. Starting with his own clothing line. Coming out and saying it’s wrong to do to the Military what DUMBO is doing to it, that we will purge all that PC crap out of it and our schools.
Did we learn noting from pre WW2 Japan about not being able to produce our own products in high volume? Forget this global business crap, be PRO AMERICAN jobs. I have no use for unions they are corrupt. Right to work, works better. Abolish the IRS, National Sales Tax, every one pays according to their buying power and so do visitors to this country. Get rid of the UN out of the US.
If our conservatives in congress had held to principals and stood fast, that is where all the damage was allowed to be done. We can survive a RINO, be can’t survive traitors to Conservatism, Bible-GOD and Constitution that occupy both the WH, fed judges and congress. Both my US Senators are RINOS, who when campaigning are ‘fake conservatives’.
I’d back term limits for congress and all fed judges. 2 terms and out. Limit senate and fed judges to 8 yrs total, no crossing houses, and no pensions, tie pay raises to COLA raises. If caught with hand in cookie jar, FIRED. That means dems too.
All I see here locally are signs for local candidates to ashamed or scared to admit to party. They don’t speak in town hall meetings either. So you don’t know where they stand.
Is that one of his grandkids in the photo?
