Vision Forum Ministries (the not-for-profit arm of Vision Forum) capitalizes upon connotation and summarizes their family and Pro-Life oriented Mission Statement by describing themselves as Christians who follow patriarchy as well as their created concept of “multigenerational faithfulness.” Trusting people often fail to recognize the darker doctrines beneath the pleasant pictures connoted including “Protestant Exclusivism,” their own version of Darwinian social engineering, and their view which defines daughters as a “dynamic means” for a man to “extend his influence into other covenantal family units.” The group’s claims of an uncompromising Pro-Life status also beguile and Full post …
