American Vision

American Vision

American Vision is a "a full service, nonprofit Christian ministry" founded in 1978 by Steve Schiffman. Its mission statement calls for "equipping and empowering Christians to restore America’s biblical foundation." It should not be confused with the Vision America conservative Christian organization.

The president of American Vision, Gary DeMar, is a graduate of Western Michigan University (1973) and Reformed Theological Seminary (1979). He was employed fulltime by American Vision in 1981 as a research analyst and became president in 1986. DeMar is the author of 23 books. A Media Matters article from February 14, 2006 describes DeMar as "a leading promoter of an extremist theology called Christian Reconstructionism, also known as Theocratic Dominionism."

Criticism

The Southern Poverty Law Center has described American Vision as one of "a dozen of today's most influential anti-gay groups" as well as labeled it on a list of "hate groups."
