Contributors to this website have been writing for several years about the New Apostolic Reformation and the "Third Wave" block of Independent Charismatics from which it emerged. We invite you to search through the website, including the special focus box in the left panel titled Resource Directory for the New Apostolic Reformation. Another search tool is the TTA Site search function in the upper right corner which allows you to search by terms or names.

For a brief visual introduction to the movement and how it intersects with politics, watch the following two minute video compilation from the International Transformation Network conference in 2009, led by Apostles Pat Francis and Ed Silvoso. Also participating were Lt. Governor Duke Aiona, who ran for governor in 2010, and a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Some of the contributors to the website include pioneers in the research and analysis of dominion theology and Christian Reconstructionism, including Frederick Clarkson and Chip Berlet. Other contributors include Rob Boston of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Several regular contributors to the website, including Bruce Wilson, are working to gather documentation and analysis of the New Apostolic Reformation. This includes the network of apostles and prophets of the International Coalition of Apostles, led until recently by C. Peter Wagner, and other similar "apostolic and prophetic" networks around the world. There are more than 150 articles on Talk2action about the New Apostolic Reformation and many more about other forms of Dominionism, including Christian Reconstructionism.

Note that the New Apostolic Reformation and related apostolic and prophetic relational networks are an evolving movement and one that does not wish to be viewed as an institutionalized denomination. The apostles view themselves as uniting the church for the end times under the authority of their apostles, not as a sectarian movement. C. Peter Wagner describes is as "the greatest change in church since the Protestant Reformation taking place before our eyes." It has been difficult to describe the movement inside the denominational paradigms with which we are accustomed.

Articles explaining why the movement has remained invisible to the public and why participants don't want to be labeled include Why Have the Apostles Behind Rick Perry's Prayer Rally Been Invisible to Most Americans? An article titled Disinformation and Misinformation - Becoming Educated About the New Apostolic Reformation looks at Jim Garlow's recent claim not to be familiar with the term "New Apostolic Reformation," and demonstrates the movement's efforts to avoid being labeled.

Sometimes links in articles to websites will be broken. The movement is rapidly developing and has tried many different initiatives, including changes in websites and names of entities. For example, the NAR's "prayer warrior" networks have changed their name from Spiritual Warfare Network to Strategic Spiritual Network to Global Apostolic Prayer Network. Two leading apostles, Cindy Jacobs and John Benefiel, both endorsers of Rick Perry's prayer event on August 6, lead the Reformation Prayer Network and the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network.

The movement has two major media campaigns promoting their agenda. One is the Seven Mountains campaign and the other is a series of "Transformations" movies. There are now Transformations organizations all over the world, based on the concepts taught in the Transformations series of movies.

The Kenyan pastor who anointed Sarah Palin at Wasilla Assembly of God in 2005, was a star in the first and several subsequent Transformations movies. These movies have included political leaders from around the world from Ugandan President and First Lady Museveni to Sam Brownback. Read an extensive 2008 report on the Transformations movies titled Spiritual Mapping and Spiritual Warfare: Muthee and the Transformations Franchise.

Talk2action contributors have documented the movement's "transformation" efforts in Uganda, Hawaii, New Jersey, and many other locations.

Articles on the unique brand of spiritual warfare that is taught by the apostles and prophets include Generational Curses, Deliverance Centers and the Kingdom Health Care System and a "Strategic Level Spiritual Warfare (SLSW) Glossary."

The NAR apostles have not limited their support to Republican candidates. The video compilation embedded below includes Apostle Kimberly Daniels, recently elected to the city council of Jacksonville, Florida, as a Democrat. Also in the video are Apostles Cindy Jacobs and Harry Jackson.

The Resource Directory on the New Apostolic Reformation, always visible in the left panel, has a list with many more articles on the topic.

Welcome to Talk2action! We hope you will join our contributors on this journey to uncover, study, and discuss the impact of the New Apostolic Reformation on American society and government.
