View MoreGamaliel Foundation (GF) Organizations that advance leftist agendas by infiltrating churches and religious congregations: Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good advocates a brand of “social justice” that would counteract the “greed, materialism, and excessive individualism” that are allegedly inherent in capitalism. Sojourners characterizes wealth redistribution as the fulfillment of a biblical mandate. Jim Wallis, the founder of this evangelical Christian ministry, has expressed his hope that “more Christians will come to view the world through Marxist eyes.” People Improving Communities through Organizing uses “people of faith” as foot soldiers in its crusade for the “transformation” of “people, institutions, and … our larger culture.” Catholics for Choice―formerly known as Catholics for a Free Choice―is a nominally Catholic organization that “believes in a world where everyone has equal access to … safe and legal abortion services.” In 2001, Dennis Jacobsen, director of Gamaliel’s National Clergy Caucus, published Doing Justice: Congregations and Community Organizing, a handbook/ideological guide for GF’s religious organizers. Depicting the U.S. as a “sick society” in need of radical transformation, this text derides America’s free-market system for allegedly harming the poor. The author affirms that GF’s goal is to foment public anger and “shake the foundations of this society.” Though he never mentions socialism explicitly, Jacobsen praises the communal property arrangements of the early Christians and the “radical sharing” practiced by various African groups. A self-described “radical Christian,” Jacobsen acknowledges that he has “deep prejudices … against wealthy people.” He contends that Christians who view America as a just society are plagued by “false consciousness” — a Marxist construct. https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/gamaliel-foundation-gf
