\n

We've heard a lot in the news lately about Dominionists\u2014Christians who believe, basically, that they ought to be running this country.

\n

Dominionism has different strains. But one is embodied in a group called the New Apostolic Reformation, which helped organize a recent prayer rally for Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry.

\n

How seriously should we take this group, and its goals?

\n

To answer that question, Point of Inquiry turned to Rachel Tabachnik, a researcher and writer who focuses on monitoring the Religious Right. She's a contributor to\xa0Talk2Action.org, and recently wrote about the New Apostolic Reformation on Alternet.org.
