Donald Trump lists Ted Pruitt as a “ministry leader” and member of the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.
It’s not at all clear, however, what ministry Pruitt actually leads.
Ted Pruitt and Roxanne Pruitt both live in Honey Creek, Iowa, an unincorporated area in Pottawattamie County. Honey Creek is a 36 square-mile area, with a population destiny of just under 8 people per square mile.
There is no record of any church or other religious organization or community anywhere in Iowa that is led by Ted Pruitt.
The most recent online record of any work by Pruitt was his job as a nuclear watch officer for the Omaha Public Power District.
The 317 members of the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition each carry a story in their minds about what led them as individuals to proclaim that their religious leadership would be devoted to the political career of Donald Trump. Some of those stories have been shared in public, though many of them remain in the privacy of Coalition members’ own consciences.
Beyond these individual stories, there is a larger narrative about the impact of Christian Nationalism on American politics and the radically transformative plans of Christian Nationalists for the American future.
These stories are told in a new book on the subject. It’s called Donald Trump’s Army of God: Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.
It sounds crazy, but it’s real. What they intend to do to America is too extreme for us to ignore.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates American law
