There are a number of lobby groups, which promote reform within their own denominations. Their strategies and tactics may be helpful for us to learn from. Please post information and links about them in this thread. Perhaps we may consider starting some similar lobby group for EveryNation?
Roman Catholic Faithful is a group that is very involved in getting rid of sexually immoral and theologically liberal priests in the Roman Catholic Church
www.rcf.org/
They say:" While we accept the authority of the Holy Father and all bishops in union with him, we will not sit idly by, nor blindly follow, while many in the hierarchy allow the Holy Catholic Church to be torn apart and assaulted by the forces of Modernism, Syncretism, Heresy, and the gross immorality of some of its clergy. As parents and teachers, we will not allow our Catholic youth to be robbed of their faith or have their innocence destroyed in the name of "tolerance", "ecumenism", "diversity" or any other politically correct ideology of the day. "
Anglican Mainstream is a group fighting against amongst other things the ordination of homosexuals in the Anglican church
