Praise for Strange Yokefellows:
“The careful research in this report goes a long way toward clarifying what the NCC stands for. It will be useful information for every Christian denomination wondering whether membership in this voluntary organization truly represents their convictions.”
Frederica Mathewes-Green, columnist for Beliefnet.com,
nationally recognized Orthodox speaker and author
_______________
“This carefully researched study shows how the National Council of Churches has watered the wine of the gospel with alien ideas. Examining the financial record, IRD analysts reveal where the NCC’s treasure—and therefore its heart—actually resides.”
The Rev. Parker T. Williamson, Editor Emeritus of the Presbyterian Layman,
Minister (honorably retired), Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
_______________
“The Institute on Religion and Democracy has shed much light on how the NCC, an organization founded for Christian unity, has become so divisive and divided over the years. It is a sad, but instructive telling.”
The Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh
_______________
“A very important document.”
Dr. Thomas Oden, Henry Anson Buttz Professor of Theology and Ethics Emeritus at Drew Theological
School, general editor of The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

“This in-depth report reveals what major religious organization in fact vamps for powerful political interests, with more funding from politically motivated foundations and donors than Christian churches and church members. It is terribly sad that a once promising effort to unite Christians sold its spiritual birthright for mess of political porridge. We can only hope that this exposure of the truth will bring reformation.”
The Rev. David Runnion-Bareford, Executive Director, Biblical Witness Fellowship,
Pastor in the United Church of Christ
