Apostles, prophets ... and Republicans? Obscure religious belief haunts presidential race

Apostles, prophets ... and Republicans? Obscure religious belief haunts presidential race - The Washington Post: Organizers of Rick Perry's Houston prayer event, such as Lou Engle, leader of The Call prayer marathons, and Mike Bickle, founder of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, had for several years been under the watch of mostly liberal writers alarmed by the preachers’ rhetoric.

The end of the world is an intense focus of many of the religious leaders involved in the rally. Engle has said that the tornado that leveled Joplin, MO, last May was evidence of God’s judgment on the country over abortion. Bickle views acceptance of same-sex marriage as a sign of the end times.
