Ralph Reed on America
At one time or another he's been named one of the top 10 political newsmakers in the nation by Newsweek magazine, one of the 50 future leaders in the country by Time magazine and one of the 20 most influential leaders of the baby-boom generation by Life magazine.
Yet, you either love him or ... strongly disagree with him. Or, you no longer side with him.
Ralph Reed, political strategist, lobbyist and former executive director of the Christian Coalition, will speak on "The Role of Faith in the Renewal of America," 8 p.m., Sept. 15 at Guilford College.
His public talk is a program in the college’s Year of Spirit and Spirituality.
The event is at Dana Auditorium. Admission is free and tickets will be available at the door. Parking is available in the rear of the auditorium and at New Garden Friends Meeting adjacent to the college.
Reed was executive director of the Christian Coalition from 1989-97, building it into one of the most effective grassroots organizations in modern American politics. The group's budget grew from $200,000 to $27 million and its support base grew from 2,000 to two million members and supporters in 2,000 local chapters.
