Today, the Donald J. Trump campaign announced a new executive board convened to provide advisory support to Mr. Trump on those issues important to Evangelicals and other people of faith in America.
The executive board will also lead a much larger Faith and Cultural Advisory Committee to be announced later this month.
The leaders on the executive board were not asked to endorse Mr. Trump as a prerequisite for participating on the board.
Rather, the formation of the board represents Donald J. Trumps endorsement of those diverse issues important to Evangelicals and other Christians, and his desire to have access to the wise counsel of such leaders as needed. Mr. Trump has received widespread support from Evangelical leaders, communities and voters, winning the majority of the Evangelical vote throughout the primaries.
Mr. Trump stated, I have such tremendous respect and admiration for this group and I look forward to continuing to talk about the issues important to Evangelicals, and all Americans, and the common sense solutions I will implement when I am President.
The executive board members will convene on a regular basis. Certain members of the advisory board are solely responsible for managing Mr. Trumps private meeting with hundreds of Christian leaders scheduled today in New York City.

Just slightly surprised that Tony Evans from Texas isn’t on the list.
I concur. What I meant earlier about not aligning with some of them. But like Paul said, if Christ crucified is preached, then Amen.
In that august group, I think they’d say, “Just leave us the HECK alone”; or even, “Just leave us alone.”
Love Bachmann. She was smartest candidate 2012. But has loser attached to name so not good VP pick.
Please check out Greg Abbott, Governor Texas.
Regret not finding Franklin Graham’s name listed. But he has really important work to do.
Donald is on top of it and I guess the reason she had a very good Tweet on his speech and soft-spoken voice there at the get-together. She knew he was well received because she had first-hand knowledge.
Same here,well said!
[Are Catholics invited, or Orthodox?]
It looks like the POPE is on the NO-TRUMP team,but CATHOLIC FREEPERS are on the TRUMP train.
Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Forget this silly perceived slight from The Donald, and focus your attention where it should be focused. Focus on the rabidly anti western Marxist pope. Y’all have some house cleaning to do.
I’m especially touched that James Dobson is on that list
To be honest, even though I have loved Dobson since my grown children were little I was a little down on him for not having discernment initially to support and endorse Trump......Dobson was big on Cruz
It shows Trumps’s heart, imo, that he would still put Dobson on his list.
And of course, Dobson still has the respect of millions.
GO TRUMP!
Love Pastor Manning!
Replace Kenneth Copeland with Franklin Graham.
Oh for Pete’s sake. Catholics have DOMINATED the Supreme Court for 25 years. Name the last evangelical Protestant on the USSC? Waiting . . .
Maybe the “spokespeople” for the Catholic Church are do liberal that even finding one is tough. At my “Catholic” university-—probably 2000 faculty and admin, I can think of three.
He has another calling for now
He is rounding up the flock and will shepherd them forward when he knows they are prepared and safe
The Trumps specialize in RE-branding If DJT thinks she is the person for the job she will be his choice. If not whomever he chooses will be best choice
Are you sure?
This Catholic has been on the Trump Train for a while.
agree about the Copelands
But the good news is that this Evangelical Advisory Board will also participate in a Cultural Board. We are losing the Culture War.
Remember this?
“Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” to allow women access to “reproductive health care”
