Rocked by financial debt, lawsuits and the loss of experienced political leaders, the Christian Coalition has become a pale imitation of its once-powerful self.
Some say the group -- now based in Charleston and headed by a South Carolinian -- is on life support, having been eclipsed by higher-profile, better-funded groups such as Focus on the Family.
One of the best funded groups replacing the Christian Coalition is the Southern Baptist Convention as organized by the "values voting" efforts of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. Anyone who attended the Religious Liberty Conference at Southwestern Seminary a couple weeks ago, could have easily mistaken the conference for either a Christian Coalition conference or a GOP meeting.
