This is a hit piece on Dr. Kennedy. I found this to be especially interesting:

He [Dr. Kennedy] also served on the initial executive board of the Coalition for Religious Freedom (CRF), an organization established by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church while Rev. Moon was in prison in 1984. According to Sara Diamond, "the organization was financed primarily by the Unification Church, which gave an initial donation of $500,000." The CRF's executive board included Jerry Falwell, James Robison, Rex Humbard, Jimmy Swaggart, Kennedy and Tim LaHaye, the co-author of the popular 'Left Behind' series of books" (Spiritual Warfare: The Politics of the Christian Right, South End Press, 1989).

Seems the author found it offensive that so many religious leaders of diverse backgrounds were trying to support the cause of religious freedom. Of course, people who are missing from this list includes people like the "Rev" Jesse Jackson and "Bishop" Gene Robinson.

Yes, this is a hit piece. It includes some interesting information about Kennedy....I think I remember that he authored "Evangelism Explosion," but I had forgotten.

Makes me like the guy even more.
