[lbo-talk] Time to Get Religion

of the most influential members of COR is the Rev.
Dennis Peacocke, a leading proponent of shepherding/discipleship
cell structured churches. While purposely NOT a well-known public
figure on the Christian Right scene, Peacocke's influence is felt
primarily through his extremely low-key, Strategic Christian
Services ministry, in Santa Rosa, CA.

   Peacocke, according to Diamond in her Covert Action Info. Bulletin
piece, is a former Marxist who was active on the New Left. Cf. Dale
Vree, an early SDS'er, occasional contributor to Monthly Review in the
60's, after spending several yrs. in the German Democratic Republic,
became a anti-Communist Catholic traditionalist.Edits, "The New Oxford
Review."

   Any dialogue between Marxists and Christians would benefit from a
skeptical reading of, "Marxism and Christianity:A Symposium, "  edited
by Herbert Aptheker (Hardcover - 1968) as well as his earlier, "The
Urgency of Marxist-Christian Dialogue." The sad, sorry history of the
CPUSA and mainline Christians can be found in, "Communism and the
Churches, " by Ralph Lord Roy.
