ECUMENISM A THIRD WAY In the secular realm, the Third Way is the higher truth arrived at by reconciling two equally assertable and apparently contradictory propositions - capitalism and communism. Since (we are informed by the social planners) neither system has proved workable, the answer is a Third Way of government control of the private sector. The practical outworking of this plan, however, will be a government / business partnership (Power Elites) which will control the workforce to serve its own purposes.
A similar scam has been marketed to the religious masses, who are now informed by the ecumenical change agents at the World Council of Churches that the independent local church concept established by the Protestant Reformation represents a form of "anarchy." A recent report from Ecumenical News International declares the alternative of "hierarchy" to be equally undesirable. The facilitator in this dialectic is an Italian theologian who proposes that a united Protestantism must demonstrate a "third way" between "anarchy and hierarchy."
This ecumenical colloquium was held in Geneva, Switzerland by the WCC - one of the vast network of International Institutions located in Geneva that are working toward the establishment of one world government.
The transformation of the various religions to a Third Way religious system will parallel and strengthen the consolidation and control of the masses in the socio-political realm. Although assurances are forthcoming that religious unification will not invite an authoritarian hierarchy, history proves that the road to ecumenical unity invariably leads to a state-governed church.
Many current Evangelical leaders will be well-suited for leadership in the global church/state alliance. They are already Politicians of the Radical Center as described by Marilyn Ferguson: "...they don't take strident positions. Their high tolerance of ambiguity and their willingness to change their minds leave them open to accusations of being arbitrary, inconsistent, uncertain or even devious."
Among their swelling numbers are those Pioneers of the Radical Center who signed a document titled "The Williamsburg Charter" 10 years ago along with such liberal luminaries such as Sen. Ted Kennedy and Norman Lear of People for the American Way. This agreement to celebrate First Amendment religious plurality gave the Carnegie Foundation the green light to create a curricula for public schools on comparative religion:
Proclamation, Invitation, & Warning
Billy Graham: The Williamsburg Charter Foundation"The Williamsburg Charter Foundation was a private educational group that provided the focus for a movement to fill a void in public school curriculum in the area of teaching values and teaching about religion. Their goal was to produce class materials by 1990 which was done. An example of the class materials that resulted is 'Living with our Deepest Differences: Religious Liberty in a Pluralistic Society', which Ernest Boyer (President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) says is a 'major stride forward for the school reform movement in this country.' There was a formal signing ceremony of the 'Williamsburg Charter' on June 25, 1988.
"According to a CBS television program produced in 1990 called 'The Fourth R: Religion and the Public Schools,' Billy Graham took part in the signing ceremony. Signing the charter with Billy Graham, were two former U.S. presidents (Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter) and two Supreme Court Chief Justices (Burger and Rehnquist), Senator Strom Thurmond, and many other 'distinguished leaders in government, art, and the religious community.
"The Williamsburg Charter Foundation brought together an incredible amalgamation of supporters: The Mormon church, the National Council of Churches, the National Association of Evangelicals, the Muslim American Community, the American Jewish Committee, National Organization for Women's Molly Yard, CWA's Beverly LaHaye, Phyllis Schlafly, People for the American Way's Norman Lear, James Dobson, Chuck Colson, Oz Guiness (Executive Director), the Chairman of the Soviet Commission on Human Rights, and Billy Graham gave an address at the signing ceremony.

Summary of the Williamsburg Charter
Finding Common GroundSigners of the Williamsburg Charter
Note the blend of liberal/conservative signatories. Those who would be archenemies in any other public forum have suddenly found "common ground" or consensus.The Lord Jesus Christ did not teach comparative religion, nor encourage his disciples to make such arrangements with the secular Powers That Be. As God come in the flesh, Jesus declared:
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh to the Father but by Me.
Scripture is clear that those who have faith in Jesus Christ will be saved, but those who reject Him will perish. However, Proverbs 14:12 warns of a Third Way which is both deceptive and deadly. It is the way of compromise, which seems reasonable and practical but sacrifices Truth:
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Blair Tells Of "Third Way" By Don Fiedor While visiting in Washington, Prime Minister Tony Blair gave an interview with the Guardian newspaper, and evidently blabbed quite a bit more than the Clinton Administration was comfortable with. Yet, our national media almost totally disregarded the story.
Blair told the Guardian that his Labour party and Clinton's Democrats would hold a conference in London next May. That conference would be followed late this year, or in early 1999, by an international follow-up conference, bringing on board the so-called "center-left parties" from western and eastern Europe, Australia and north and south America.
The purpose of the conference, as Blair related it, is 'To craft and define center-left philosophy for the world of today.'
What does that mean?
"I want to start with the ideology that links Labour and the Democrats," Blair said. "Then I want to bring together the Anglo-Saxon definitions of these ideas and these policies with the European ones."
So far, still nothing. These were all basically innocuous statements, not worthy of being reported to the American people. But then, he spilled the beans out where anyone paying attention could see. Blair said that the world's center-left parties had to put themselves at the forefront of managing social change in the global economy.
"The old left [communists] resisted that change. The new right [conservative capitalists] did not want to manage it. We have to manage that change to produce social solidarity and prosperity."
So there you have it: managing social change in the global economy to produce social solidarity and prosperity. Blair's explanation is a short definition of a political plan that has been in the works for quite some time. It started with the Rhodes Scholars at Oxford University and is now taught in select American schools, such as the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. The perpetrators support a blend of the best of communism and capitalism.
The captains of big business and industry are to continue receiving every liberty, freedom and privilege they have come to expect. In return, they are expected to produce products, generate capital and support the governing elite.
Government's function will be to control the people, and insure a ready work force. That will be accomplished through a myriad of laws, rules and regulations controlling everything in the lives of the people."
