"Path to 9/11" Maker Has Evangelical Ties
By Justin Rood - September 8, 2006, 2:39 PM

The director of ABC's controversial "Path to 9/11" docudrama has ties to an evangelical Christian group whose goals include "transform Hollywood from the inside out," according to research by readers of prominent blogs.

"Path" director David L. Cunningham is also involved in "The Film Institute," an offshoot of the Hawaii-based global evangelical group, Youth With a Mission.

One goal of Cunningham's Film Institute is to "fast-track" students from a digital film program associated with the YWAM organization into positions "within the film industry, not to give them jobs, but so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from the inside out," according to a cached version of page from a YWAM Web site. The original appears to have been moved or deleted.

...

Cunningham's ties to the evangelical organizations were discovered and reported by readers on DailyKos, Democratic Underground, and elsewhere.

3. A word from YWAM's International Chairman
"We are in a great cosmic war. At times like these, the world in which we live does not make sense unless we see it through the lens of warfare. The scriptures clearly present this image but we quite easily lose sight of it when our lives are going smoothly. But Jesus seemed to deal daily with demonic forces that were intent on destroying people's lives. In addition, Paul wrote clearly about our battle against the principalities and powers of the kingdom of darkness. When we look at life in these terms, it does make sense. In battle, there will be casualties. Great sacrifice is required. We must remain vigilant and stay obedient and "well armed in the spirit" for this battle."
