Control Over "Feed the Children" At Issue In Lawsuit

Today's Oklahoman reports on a lawsuit-- whose pleadings are now sealed by the court-- over control of the Christian non-profit relief organization, Feed the Children. The suit, filed in state court in Oklahoma by five former directors of the charity, claims that plaintiffs were unlawfully replaced as board members last December. The new directors, prominent Christian clergy from around the country, were added to the board by FTC founder Larry Jones and board chairman Dwight Powers. Then 6 long-time directors were sent dismissal letters. The lawsuit asks the court to remove the new directors and invalidate all board action taken since December 4.
