We
join countless others in congratulating RENEW friend and consultant, Diane
Knippers for the recognition given to her in Time magazine
as one of the 25 most influential contemporary evangelicals in America!
Diane is President of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. At one
time she was on staff at Good News magazine. Diane has led the IRD to a place of prominence as a Christian “think tank” that brings integrity and astute insight to the witness of the Church in society. The IRD is an ecumenical organization with numerous denominational committees serving under its broad umbrella. UMAction is the United Methodist committee of the IRD. *Click below for link to IRD Website |
The
IRD is committed to reforming the Church's social and political
witness and to building and strengthening democracy and religious
liberty at home and abroad. We publish newsletters, report on church
activities, and organize special projects. In addition, we maintain
committees that work for reform in the Episcopal Church, the
Presbyterian Church USA, and the United Methodist Church. The IRD
sponsors the Ecumenical Coalition on Women and Society, and an
International Religious Freedom project. The IRD also acts as the
program and publicity arm of the Association for Church Renewal.
