The CEO of D James Kennedy ministries says the media ministry will not bow to cancel culture.
In a public statement on video, D. James Kennedy Ministries President and CEO Dr. Frank Wright revealed a series of cancel culture attacks on the Christian broadcast ministry which, he said, are “surely the first wave of much more to come.”
Despite that, he pledged that “we remain committed to standing for truth and defending your freedom.”
In his statement Wright pointed to James Madison, who as a young man stood with his father outside a Virginia jail listening to Baptist preachers, who stood in their jail cell windows preaching the Gospel. Why were they in jail? They were preaching opinions not approved by the government.
The events inspired Madison when he later drafted the U.S. Constitution and went on to serve as the fourth President of the United States.
Wright says we’re seeing similar viewpoint discrimination today, 250 years, in the form of cancel culture. Cancel culture is the systematic efforts of media and technology elites to marginalize, demonize, and eventually criminalize speech and ideas that are unacceptable to their hard-Left Marxist sensibilities.
First, D. James Kennedy Ministries was placed on the so-called “hate map” of the Southern Poverty Law Center. More recently the ministry’s Truths That Transform television program was forced off the Lifetime Channel after being deemed too controversial.
And last month, the digital vendor hosting the ministry’s website’s bookstore—known as Volusian—kicked them off the site.
