A ST. LOUIS METROVOICE SPECIAL FOCUS SECTION ON
AMERICANS UNITED FOR SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
"Removing God from America"

And Jesus said: "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  You will know
them by their fruits." Matthew 7:15-16

The words of Christ in these Scriptures are at the very heart of
this educational and informative 16-page special focus on Americans
United for Separation of Church and State (AU).  

For those unfamiliar with AU, it is the nation's leading advocacy
group on church-state and religious liberty issues and serves as
the umbrella organization for practically every radical Left-wing,
anti-Christian and anti-conservative organization in America.  

The purpose of this section is to:

1. Reveal the true agendas of AU and its allies by exposing their
twisted interpretations of the concepts of "religious liberty" and
"church-state separation."

2. Expose the false philosophies which guide AU and its allies and
clearly illustrate how these philosophies are dividing the Body of
Christ, destroying the family and dismantling the Judeo-Christian
foundations upon which our nation was founded.

3. Expose the multitude of anti-Christian, anti-conservative and
Left-wing extremist organizations which support AU.

4. Provide insight for those involved with AU and its allies who
may not realize what these organizations are actually accomplishing
or trying to accomplish.

5. Provide information to the general Body of Christ and to
Christian and conservative organizations which can be utilized to
help battle AU and its allies and combat the false philosophies
which they are promoting.

This exclusive section was featured in the May 1995 issue of the
St. Louis MetroVoice, St. Louis' Christian News and Events
Publication.  The MetroVoice is an inner-denominational and non-
politically aligned monthly newspaper which provides local,
national and international news and events from a biblical, Christ-
centered perspective.  MetroVoice holds truth and traditional
Judeo-Christian values as its banner; seeking to increase awareness
and activism among its readers in support of -- or in opposition to
-- moral, ethical and political issues which affect the Body of
Christ.

Regular columnists include: Rob Gregory of James Dobson's "Focus On
The Family"; Martin Duggan, conservative Catholic talk-show host of
the nationally acclaimed "Donnybrook" public television program;
George Grant, author of Grand Illusions and The Family Under Siege;
Phyllis Wallace, host of Lutheran Hour Ministries' nationally
broadcast radio talk-show "Woman to Woman"; John Prentis, Vice
President of Covenant Theological Presbyterian Seminary and
Chairman of the Board of World Magazine; Dr. David Menton,
President of the Missouri Association for Creation; and Dr. Harold
Hendrick, a Baptist pastor of 27 years and talk-show host of
"Encounter" on KSIV radio a Bott Network station in St. Louis,
Missouri.

for America; Chuck Colson of Prison Fellowship Ministries; John
Stormer author of None Dare Call It Treason; former Congressman
Jack Kemp; Gary Bauer of The Family Research Council and other well

The majority of articles in this special focus on Americans United
were written by Roger Moran and Kerry Messer.  Both are Baptist
laymen who, in 1991, formed the Missouri Baptist Laymen's
Association.  The association's purpose is to research, document
and expose organizations which are incompatible with biblical
Christianity.  Kerry Messer is also the founder and president of
the Missouri Family Network and a family issues lobbyist in the
state capitol.

This section strikes at the very heart of the cultural war raging
in America today.  It clearly illustrates how AU and its allies are
utilizing their twisted interpretations of "religious liberty" and
"church-state separation" to separate God from America.  You will
learn how AU proponents are pitting clergy against clergy to divide
the Body of Christ; how they are silencing and diluting Christian
ideology in both the educational and legislative processes in
America; and how they are utilizing their concept of "religious
liberty" to destroy and systematically reject the fundamental
Christian tenets upon which our nation was built.  This section
clearly explains why AU and the Left's concepts of "church-state
separation" and "religious liberty" have proven to be the ultimate
vehicles for the suppression, isolation and -- if all goes well
according to their agenda -- the eventual eradication of all
Christian influence from our government and society.
