Christian Exodus Group To Focus On One South Carolina County

Christian Exodus is a group of conservative Christians that is trying to encourage like-minded people to move to South Carolina in order to attain political power and transform government to reflect Christian values. (See prior posting.) The Associated Press reported yesterday that the group has now decided to focus on Anderson County for the next few years in order to speed up a show of results. Since the group began 4 years ago, only 15 families have actually moved to South Carolina. Christian Exodus founder Cory Burnell says that with as few as 100 activists they could have an impact in one county. Rick Adkins, chairman of the Anderson County Republican Party, said he thinks the group could win a County Council seat by 2008. Among the positions advocated by Christian Exodus is that the 14th Amendment was illegally ratified.
