The 700 Club on CBN Kim Bonney interviewed Mark Henkel - June 2005

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Kim Bonney, for The 700 Club, on CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, in Washington DC, on June 28, 2005, for a report that was broadcast on August 16, 2005, titled, "Polygamy: The Next 'Right' to be Legalized?"   The report also aired on other networks on which The 700 Club was being broadcast, including TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and the cable network, Family Channel.   The show had flown Mark Henkel in from Maine to do this entire interview on video at their Washingon, DC studios.  This interview was the source that made history.  In the August 16, 2005, airing of the segment, the show reported,  "Polygamy has a range of defenders, including  evangelical Christians. Mark Henkel is founder of the Christian polygamy  organization, TruthBearer.org. He says Christian polygamists believe  husbands are called to love their wives, as Christ loved the churches,  according to Scripture.."  That was the first time that the two words "Christian" and "polygamy" were no longer misperceived as a "contradiction in terms" and  the first time that the movement itself was recognized as indeed being actual Christians, including evangelical Christians.  The aired report included a number of other key quotes from this historic interview, as well.  The woman reporter who conducted the interview was completely professional, polite, pleasant, and positive throughout the interview.  For other listeners who do not follow or believe in the Christian faith, this interview also provides powerful lessons on what and how to use the commonplace terms & rhetoric that will (and do!) persuade Christians to support the liberty and de-criminalization of UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy.  For researchers, this is the interview that caused history to be made! http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
