McIntyre has ties to Christian group

[ccharles000]

U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre has acknowledged his association with a secretive Christian group in Washington that seeks to influence national and international political figures.

The group, alternately known as The Family, The Foundation or The Fellowship maintains a three-story house called The C Street House that hosts prayer meetings and receptions and is where several Washington lawmakers live, The Wilmington Star-News reports.

The house is registered with the IRS as a church.

McIntyre, a Lumberton Democrat, was responding to press queries following a Salon.com article that named 23 senators, representatives and previous political leaders who have been associated with the C Street House or counseled by the organization.
