[Mark Krikorian]

When the National Association of Evangelicals endorsed amnesty earlier this month, the organization's president, Leith Anderson, gave the clear impression that all the member denominations had joined in that endorsement. It turns out that he was, ah, bearing false witness. The Salvation Army, one of the NAE's biggest member denominations, does not support the Washington lobbying office's position. In fact, it seems that only 11 of the 42 member denominations back the amnesty resolution, which was not at all the impression Reverend Anderson gave when he responded this way to Senator Schumer's question about how widespread support for amnesty was among evangelicals:

We actually had a vote today on this resolution with leaders in the National Association of Evangelicals and there was no dissent. . . . On the board there are 75 (members) who represent the head of denominations.

Yet another example of headquarters staff pretending to speak for their supposed constituents.
