Rick Bick is the pastor of the New Life Center In Ottumwa, Iowa
While running in his failed campaign to become Mayor of Ottumwa, Pastor Bick described his plans to deny the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly to LGBTQ people there.
These basic rights are granted to all people in the United States, with no restrictions according to gender identity or sexual orientation.
Why does Rick Bick oppose the liberties protected in the Constitution of the United States of America? Is the power of his church really more important than freedom?
Donald Trump’s Army of God: Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a new book about the alarming truth of militant Christian Nationalism hidden behind the innocuous label of faith in Iowa politics.
As “a case study in the violent extremism that has come to define the presidential election of 2024,” the book examines the extremist Christian Nationalist ideology, grounded in details about the beliefs and actions of 317 actual Christian Nationalists who are working to undermine democracy across the state of Iowa.
The radicalization of the Iowa Christians profiled in this book enables us to understand the growing toxic influence of Christian Nationalism all across the USA.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates the law
Let’s make it our business to become aware of the Christian Nationalist preachers who are members of the Coalition.
