Chickcomics.com welcomes all opinions from any religion or viewpoint in the common appreciation of Chick tracts. This blog, however, will highlight religious events and controversies that would be of special interest to regular Chick readers. You don't have to agree with them or each other, but if you read Chick tracts or Battlecry, you might expect these type stories to be addressed. (Sorry, no personal attacks allowed.)

Assemblies of God elects new leader

The conservative, evangelical, and Pentecostal denomination, the General Council of the Assemblies of God, has just voted for a new General Superintendent, the 12th leader to serve since the denomination's founding in 1914.
The Rev. George O. Wood has been elected to fill the unexpired term of the Rev. Thomas E. Trask, who has chosen to retire.
The 52nd General Council biannual meeting was held in Indianapolis, Indiana representing an American constituency of nearly 3 million people meeting in 12,000 churches.
The Assemblies of God received unwanted notoriety in the worldwide news media when the PTL scandal involving Jim Bakker happened in 1987, and later the scandal involving Jimmy Swaggart in 1988. Both preachers were ordained in the Assemblies of God, as is Chick Fan Club President Richard Lee. Alberto Rivera said that the Assemblies of God has been infiltrated by Jesuits.
