| Summary: | Among the various interreligious hostilities prevalent in America history, probably none has been so violent or prolonged as that between members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and various Fundamentalist/Baptist (Independent and Southern) groups. Yet in this report we describe an emerging alliance of these very opponents, including developments of rapprochement between the outspoken Moral Majority founder Reverend Jerry Falwell and the right-wing (largely Mormon) Freemen Institute. We trace the ties of both camps to the John Birch Society and analyze why such a coalition between "Old Christian Right" and "New Christian Right" makes strategic sense from a social movements perspective, examining the benefits and draw-backs to each party. |
