Dr. Joel Hunter is the Founder of The Alliance for the
Distributed Church. He is working to bring the church into the
future as a connection point for global Christian leaders, and
to expand the agenda of the Christian right to include such
issues as reducing poverty and fighting global warming. In
November 2006 he stepped down as President elect from the
Christian Coalition because the group did not want to broaden
its agenda beyond hot-button social issues.
Dr. Hunter received his Bachelor of Science in education
(history and government) from Ohio University, and his Master of
Divinity and Doctor of Ministry in culture and personality from
Christian Theological Seminary. In 2005, Belhaven College
awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humanities. He is the author
of "The Journey to Spiritual Maturity" series and "Right Wing,
Wrong Bird", in which he argues that large numbers of
conservative Christians feel misrepresented by the Christian
right's narrow focus on moral issues to the exclusion of broader economic, environmental, and social concerns.
