Coming Later This Week: The Mark DeMoss Interview

Posted by: Lowell Brown at 12:35 pm, May 1st 2007     —    Comment on this post »

Last week we spent a fascinating hour interviewing Mark DeMoss, founder of The DeMoss Group and author of The Little Red Book of Wisdom.  According to the Group's website:

Since founding The DeMoss Group in 1991, Mark DeMoss has served some of the world’s most prominent and effective Christian ministries and enterprises.  Mark has been involved in shaping some of the largest Christian events and campaigns over the past decade while simultaneously overseeing the growth of his now twenty-person firm.  He has extensive media relations experience with both religious and mainstream media and provides particular expertise to clients in crisis/issues management and communications.

What does Mr. DeMoss, who was Jerry Falwell's Chief of Staff for 8 years, have to do with Article VI Blog?  Well, he's an unpaid volunteer with the Romney for President campaign, and has had the lead role in the campaign's outreach efforts to Evangelical Christians.  Among other things, the interview details:

  • How DeMoss arranged the October 2006 meeting at Governor Romney's home with prominent Evangelical leaders; who was there; and what took place at the meeting;
  • How DeMoss himself came to be a committed Romney supporter;
  • What DeMoss thinks of Mormons and how they and Evangelicals can and should cooperate; and
  • What the campaign's next steps are in reaching out to Evangelicals and other "values voters."

We'll have the interview up this Thursday, May 3.  Watch for it!
