But there is a bigger
reason for concern. His program plays a vital part in a worldwide movement
that demands religious compromise, a pre-planned community consensus, and a
global ethic which turns God's values upside-down. Take a look at this context
for Dr. Haynes' program:
Promote the UN vision for
global solidarity.
For more than half a century, UNESCO has pursued the goal of its first
Secretary-General, Julian Huxley -- an avowed Socialist leader like his brother
Aldous. Now as then, the UN agency in charge of education, science and culture
has shown little tolerance for those who refuse to bend to its goals:
"The mission of UNESCO... is that of
advancing... international peace and the common welfare... We have
witnessed... the resurgence of nationalism, the growth of fundamentalism and
of religious and ethnic
intolerance. The roots of exclusion and hatred have shown themselves
even deeper and more tenacious than we had feared... Peace... requires, in the
words of the Constitution, 'the intellectual and moral solidarity of
mankind'."

(emphasis and link added)
To achieve solidarity, UNESCO
must win public consent for mind-changing psycho-social strategies that would
mold and monitor the way people think everywhere. To win this consent, it needs
a public crisis -- one that's either real, exaggerated or merely an illusion.
Reality matters far less than public perception.
The crisis summarized in the
UNESCO mission fits the need. With help from the media, it has already persuaded
people around the world that "the resurgence of nationalism, the growth of
fundamentalisms and of religious... intolerance" is a global threat.
This perception can now be
used to conform, not only nations and "fundamental" Christians to the UN vision,
but also the Bible itself.
Christians who love God's
Word know that His family is made up
of people from "every tribe and nation." In Christ, people from every race and
culture become one. Yet, Biblical Christianity is considered too narrow and
divisive for the globalist leaders who have been planning the new solidarity
since 1945. Notice the blatant intolerance toward Biblical truth and other
"certainties" in this 1946 statement by Dr. Brock Chisholm, first head of the
World Health Organization:
"We have swallowed all manner of poisonous
certainties fed us by our parents.... The results are frustration,
inferiority, neurosis and inability to... make the world fit to live in....
"It has long been generally accepted that
parents have a perfect right to impose any points of view, any lies or fears,
superstitions, prejudices, hates, or faith on their defenseless children....
[People with] guilts, fears, inferiorities, are certain to project their hates
on to others.... Such reaction now becomes a dangerous threat to the whole
world...."[6]
God's absolute, unchanging
truth simply doesn't fit the new ideology. His absolute truth offends those who
pursue conflicting beliefs and lifestyles. It seems "intolerant" and "hateful"
to those who seek public approval for their own ways.
Charles Haynes summarizes this view well:
“Bitter culture wars
over abortion, homosexuality and other social issues are acerbating (sic) our
religious differences. Exploding diversity is changing the face of our nation,
unleashing fear, intolerance and hatred in the process. And many Americans are
fast retreating into their own cultural and ethnic ‘tribes.’"
["21st-century
America must build ties, not rifts"]
Our leaders have a new word for this crisis:
separatism. During a 1991 speech at a Communitarian Conference in Washington
D.C., Al Gore said, "Seeing ourselves as separate is the central problem in our
political thinking." (See
Clinton's War on
Hate Bans Christian Values)
The opposite of Mr. Gore's separatism is the other
"s" word: solidarity. To understand its ominous meaning,
come with me to
Habitat II, the
1996 UN Conference on Human Settlements. It included a day-long mini-conference
on "Solidarity" held at an elegant Turkish palace in Istanbul. Here, a panel of
global leaders moderated by Robert McNeil (of McNeil and Lehrer), outlined the
UN agenda for religious unity and social control. I taped and transcribed their
comments. Compare some of their remarks (in boxes) with the comments by Charles
Haynes and others who have joined his crusade.

spiritual unity to build the global community
