The Christian Civic League of Maine and the Maine Jeremiah
Project announce their merger in order to become a more effective
Christian voice in Maine’s public square and Augusta’s legislative
halls. The united group, the Christian Civic League of Maine, will
combine resources and efforts to become a stronger, more visible
Christian presence in Maine public policy and culture.
The
Maine Jeremiah Project is best known for networking Maine pastors and
its leadership in overturning same sex marriage in 2009. The Christian
Civic League, a voice in Maine politics since 1900, has recently
undergone a change in leadership and staff.
“I
truly believe that God will be honored from our desire to serve Him in
Christian unity,” said Carroll Conley, Jr., Executive Director of the
Christian Civic League.
“We
are convinced that this will enable us to all be better informed
and equipped to impact the culture of Maine,” said Bob Emrich former
Director of the Maine Jeremiah Project and now the Chairman of the Board
of the Christian Civic League.
Christian leaders concur. Clergy and laity from across the state planning to attend next week’s Unity Banquets include Adventist,
Anglican, Assembly of God, Baptist, Episcopalian, Pentecostal, Roman
Catholic, and non-denominational Bible church leaders.
