THE PRAYER GROUP MOVEMENT

The Other FBI¹² delved into how faith-based initiatives threaten the doctrine of separation of church and state—a democratic maxim that incorporates two legal (and political) principles, secular government and religious freedom—in both the United States and Puerto Rico.  Thomas Jefferson’s referred to it in his renowned letter to the Danbury (Connecticut) Baptists.³  He believed the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution⁴ built a “wall of separation” between church and state. Section 3 of Article II of the Constitution of Puerto Rico⁵ leaves no doubt that this doctrine exists in Puerto Rico.

Faith-Based Initiatives (the other FBI) and “compassionate” conservatism are interconnected. We all should know more about this secretive movement that melds two spheres of belief, religion and politics. Its origin can be traced back to former Nixon aide and Watergate felon Charles W. Colson’s Prison Fellowship, a worldwide fundamentalist evangelical ministry that wages war on secularism. Traditionally evangelicals aided and worked for the poor and the suffering. This ended in the early part of the twentieth century when their “Social Gospel” was radically revised.
