Delaware Political Weekly: Jan. 28-Feb. 3, 2012

Two new positions are open, but the names are old and...shopworn. With City Councilman Charles Potter running for Dennis P. Williams' RD 1 seat, guess who has reemerged to seek Potter's seat? I'll give you a hint. He was once suspended from practicing law in the State of Delaware for 18 months. That's right. Sam Guy. He's ba-a-a-ck. ...

Delaware state house Dems distance themselves from "tribute" to dominionist leader

The Democrats in the Delaware state House of Representatives are in full damage control mode over a tribute given back in January to C. Peter Wagner, a prominent leader of the New Apostolic Reformation.  It would seem inconceivable at first glance that a legislative body owned by Dems (they have an 11-seat majority in that chamber) would give any sort of honor to one of the proponents of a ...

So Why Is DE State House Giving Official Tributes to Known Christian Dominionists?

On January 19, 2012, one C. Peter Wagner was awarded an official tribute from the Delaware House of Representatives, sponsored by Representative Daniel Short and officially signed off by Speaker Gilligan. The House awards tons of these, but this one is spectacularly different....

Delaware legislature gets snowed by dominionist leader Peter Wagner

Yesterday, I mentioned that New Apostolic Reformation leader C. Peter Wagner claimed to have received a commendation from the Delaware House of Representatives for his efforts to appoint "apostles" in the state.  I initially thought Wagner was blowing smoke--not because I didn't think a state legislature would honor anyone who subscribes to this fascist brand of Christianity, but becaus...

Is dominionist leader lying about commendation from state of Delaware?

Those of us who have watched the New Apostolic Reformation have come to expect bizarre claims.  Well, today one of their principal leaders, C. Peter Wagner, made one of the most bizarre ones yet.  He sent out an email to his supporters claiming that the city of Seaford, Delaware and the Delaware House of Representatives had actually given him commendations for his efforts to commissi...
