Seven Mountains Dominionism At North Carolina's 'Response' Rally [View all]

Seven Mountains Dominionism At North Carolina's 'Response' Rally

SUBMITTED BY Peter Montgomery on Thursday, 10/1/2015 12:35 pm

Last Saturday’s five-and-a-half-hour “Response” rally in North Carolina was, like previous “Response rallies, a culture war rallying cry disguised as a nonpolitical prayer gathering. The event, organized by Christian-nation activist David Lane and emceed by “apostle” Doug Stringer, promoted Seven Mountains dominionism, the idea that the right kind of Christians are meant to control every sphere – or “mountain” – of cultural influence: business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, family, and religion.

While laying hands on North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, who Lane said was put in place by God, Lane prayed that God could give McCrory “courage to fight.”
