Today, State of Belief exposes a coordinated effort to undermine mainline Protestantism -- and render America's largest denominations incapable of standing up to right wing politics.

In conjunction with the website Talk to Action, State of Belief takes an unprecedented look into the takeover of America’s churches, revealing the ugly truths, personal experiences, and exhaustive research of Welton and the three leaders he welcomes today:

Dr. Bruce Prescott is Executive Director of Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists, President of the Oklahoma chapter of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and the host of Religious Talk on KREF radio in Norman, Oklahoma.

Dr. John Dorhauer is minister for the St. Louis Association of the United Churches of Christ.  He writes a series for Talk to Action on the right wing attack on the United Churches of Christ.

Dr. Andrew Weaver, a United Methodist pastor and research psychologist, has traced the campaign against mainline Protestantism largely to the Institute on Religion and Democracy.  Weaver is associate publisher of Zion's Herald and a contributor to Hard Ball on Holy Ground: The Religious Right v. the Mainline for the Church's Soul.  Read his series at Talk to Action on the right wing attack on the United Methodist Church.
