This conference will give rigorous attention to the worldview of
Dominionism, its influence in contemporary political culture and its
agenda for America. According to Chip Berlet, Senior Analyst at Political
Research Associates: "Dominionism in general threatens the Church/State
separation so vital to our democracy as a pluralist society." While not
all Christian fundamentalists are Dominionists, Dominionism's influence is
powerful and growing.
