Jim Garlow
Jim Garlow is the former Senior Pastor of Skyline Church located in La Mesa, California, a suburb of San Diego.
[1] Garlow is often cited as an evangelical leader in the political arena, quoted on issues such as the 2012 Republican presidential primary.
[7][8] In 2010, Garlow was appointed by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich as chairman of Renewing American Leadership, a non-profit organization he created after he left Congress.
ReAL is dedicated to educating, organizing, training and mobilizing people of faith to renew American self-government and America's role in the world'."
President Tsai Ing-wen is the 'Hillary Clinton of Taiwan' – hellbent on destroying natural, orthodox, historic, tradition (biblical) marriage.
History remembers people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Garlow said, but there is eternal shame on "all those silent Christians that didn't say anything about the Jews being killed [because] they had no guts, they had no courage, they had no boldness and they would not stand for truth.
"[13] Garlow participating in a Washington A Man of Prayer event at the US Capitol with Republican Congresspeople, compared himself and the others present to a re-embodiment in their persons of the "Burning Bush".
[15] Garlow has previously claimed that his prayer gatherings led to the passage of California's Proposition 8, the anti-gay amendment that was later overturned by the courts.
He suggested that religious conservatives may have to "abandon" the term evangelical altogether and "coin a new phrase" like "ABC, authentically biblical Christians.
Garlow – who partnered with Mormons in California to help pass Proposition 8, the state's gay marriage ban, via ballot initiative in 2008 – is one of several high-profile evangelicals on the defensive about participating in Beck's rally, called Restoring Honor.
[18] The rally, which was held near the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, was headlined by Sarah Palin.
"Guided by uplifting music, nationally-known religious figures from all faiths will unite to deliver messages reminiscent to those given during the struggles of America's earliest days," his site says of the event.
Moving across Great Britain and Ireland, he helped form and organize small Christian groups that developed intensive and personal accountability, discipleship and religious instruction.
Under Wesley's direction, Methodists became leaders in many social issues of the day, including prison reform and the abolition of slavery.
"[21] One newspaper article stated, "It is best not to pigeonhole Garlow, said Morris Casuto, who recently retired as director of the San Diego Anti-Defamation League.
'"[22] Jim Garlow has led the right wing evangelical movement to defy US law and the tax regulations by using his non-profit 501(c)(3) registered charity, Skline Wesleyan Church in La Mesa, California, to name specific candidates and urge his parishioners to vote as he directs.
[24] In spite of his pursuing this illegal conduct since 2008, Republican Congresspeople have successfully twarted any attempt to enforce the law with regard to Skline and Jim Garlow.
