Now an annual event, the forum is scheduled up to the year 2000. Keep in mind that Gorbachev is the former President of the Soviet Union and has never renounced communism. These forums are proof that Gorbachev is accomplished more now in the advancement of his new world order agenda than he ever did as the Soviet Union's president. As Christians, we should be discerning in all areas and not so readily dismiss such events as meaningless. This calls for much wisdom, knowledge, and study on our part so we are able to read the signs of the times with godly discernment.
Christians can ill-afford to be in a state of slumber with regard to world politics.
This article examining the Gorbachev Foundation in the first in a two-part series. Don McAlvany, a Christian political news analyst, best described the foundation in his March 1995 newsletter, McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, p. 13. This was the first time foreign troops had ever trained on U.S. soil. The mantra that is constantly resounded both by the Foundation as well as in Gorbachev's book is that national borders do not matter. Some of those who sit on the board of this foundation include such notables as the former Secretary of State George Schultz, and former U.S. Senators Alan Cranston and Gary Hart.
