Hegseth's Church Links Spark Controversy | JQJO

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's affiliation with the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), a conservative Christian network, has sparked controversy. Hegseth publicly endorsed CREC's views, including its opposition to women's suffrage, as expressed by CREC co-founder Doug Wilson. Wilson, a proponent of Christian nationalism and patriarchy, believes the 19th Amendment was a mistake. Hegseth's connection to CREC highlights the growing influence of conservative Christian groups within the US government, prompting renewed scrutiny of their beliefs and practices. CREC's influence extends beyond its churches, encompassing schools and publishing houses promoting their worldview.
