The Family (or the Fellowship as it is also known), is a shadowy organisation founded in the United States in the 1930s to promote a gospel of theocratic capitalist power and American empire. Like a Protestant version of Opus Dei, the Family is best known for founding the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC in the 1950s, and its invisible network has not only penetrated the highest levels of political power in the United States but wherever in the world America has political or economic interests. http://www.abc.net.au/rn/religionreport/stories/2008/2353921.htm
That the Fellowship sometimes known as “The Cedars” is influential and powerful is hardly disputable. fundamental Christianity.”
Jeff Sharlet is a contributing editor for Harper's and Rolling Stone, an association research scholar in the Centre for Religion and Media at New York University, and he's the author of an new book about the Fellowship entitled 'The Family: Politics, Power and Fundamentalism's Shadow Elite'. It's based on research he did on documents kept at the Billy Graham Centre Archives, and it's one of the most absorbing books I've read all year.
Jeff Sharlet says that when we think of American Christian fundamentalism, we tend to think of the populist, Bible-thumping TV evangelists. But the Fellowship is about a different kind of fundamentalism, elite fundamentalism. More upper class, more sophisticated, it doesn't need the media, doing its work behind the scenes.
Jeff Sharlet: Elite fundamentalism and especially the elite fundamentals in The Family, is not so much interested in holding mass rallies, or saving everybody's souls, rather it grows out of this belief that took hold in the 1930s that God works through a few specially chosen individuals.
They call them key men, the sort of anointed. And there's the real concerns, well, not social issues but economic, something that they came to call 'Biblical capitalism', a sort of laissez-fair capitalism, and especially foreign affairs, and I think that comes as a surprise to a lot of folks here in the United States, but also overseas, but they're the kind of Christian fundamentalism in America that has always taken as its main concern the role of American power in the world, and the expansion of that kind of power. http://tangibleinfo.blogspot.com/2009/08/christianity-on-steroids-family.html
