Okay, this is creepy. Illuminati creepy. A group of former world leaders, led by Nelson Mandela, has formed an organization called “The Elders”. Their mission, according to their website:

The Elders are an independent group of eminent global leaders, brought together by Nelson Mandela, who offer their collective influence and experience to support peace building, help address major causes of human suffering and promote the shared interests of humanity.

So how do these great leaders put these apparently laudable goals into practice? By demanding that religious groups such as the Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics start ordaining women. The author of the article advocating such a position is none other than former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

I don’t know about you, but as soon as I hear of a group called “The Elders” which consists of powerful world-wide political figures trying to “help” the world, my Anti-Christ Alert System – developed during my years as an Evangelical – starts going off like a five-alarm fire. I have pictures of a new one-world religion dancing in my head, led by someone telling us we must abandon Christianity in order to save the world. And frankly, after perusing their website, nothing I read really defuses that alarm.

The idea for this group partially originated with the musician Peter Gabriel. Coincidentally (or maybe not), last night I was playing his album “So” and my daughter said to me, “Oh, don’t play that, we all think his music is creepy.” Kinda like his ideas for helping the world.
