Turns out, Christians are ignored and discriminated against at the highest levels of government. According to Agape, anyway:
President Bush's domestic policy advisor, Claude Allen, has announced his resignation, citing his desire to spend more time with his family. However, rumors persist that he left his post out of frustration. The Capitol Hill rumor mill says Allen, a strong pro-family Christian advocate, resigned because his advice was being ignored by the Bush administration. Rob Schenck of the National Clergy Council says it often happens that "Christians in the highest levels of government ... are not taken seriously or they are pressured out or put outside the loop." He says believers can sometimes be thwarted by those in the administration who do not share their values or principles. That leads to frustration, Schenck contends, and causes some people of faith working in government to feel that "they're no longer making a contribution; they need to leave. So this could be one of those situations where we have another Christian as a casualty of the culture wars in our country." This is what many Washington insiders believe happened with Claude Allen.
The victimhood never ends, does it? Maybe Agape could explain which members of the Bush administration aren't Christian? Maybe we could register these people so that we would know who they are...
