Promise Keepers: Christian Men's Movement Making a Comeback?
In September of last year, AP reported that Coach McCartney had returned to the organization as chief executive officer and chairman of the ministry. The group also announced that former Promise Keepers executive Raleigh Washington would serve as the organization’s president. During his time away from PK, McCartney founded an organization called “The Road to Jerusalem,” whose purpose, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2006, was “to hasten the end times.” “The Bible says Jews will be brought to jealousy when they see Christians and Jewish believers together as one — they’ll want to be a part of that. That’s going to signal Jesus’ return,” he pointed out.
Now, twenty years after its founding, Promise Keepers is gearing up for a 20th anniversary celebration scheduled for July 31- August 1 at Folsom Field on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder. According to its website, Promise Keepers will be “returning to its roots,” by holding a one-time-only day-and-a-half conference titled “A Time to Honor.”
And, “For the first time, men and women are invited.”
