The Institute on Religion and Democracy, a right-wing religious takeover organization, has suffered a setback at the quadrennial Methodist General Conference being held in Fort Worth.
Ethics Daily is reporting that the organization has been accused of tying to buy African votes with cell phones. Conservative groups with ties to the IRD apparently offered free cell phones to delegates from Africa in an attempt to influence their votes.
Organizations like Mainstream United Methodists in Oklahoma have been educating Methodist laymen about the pernicious influence and tactics of the IRD for the past several years.
