More Detail:

“New World Order,” Part Three of THE FAMILY mini-series, tells the origin story of the National Prayer Breakfast and what it has become today. The episode admits there is some good in the event, but it stresses the bad things, with an emphasis on the event’s corruption, mainly at the hands of power-hungry Christians. Doug Coe, the co-founder of the National Prayer Breakfast, made it his goal to establish this event in every country in the world, and he almost did accomplish that. Yet, many wonder why Coe and The Fellowship (which became known as The Family) never wanted to be recognized for the event. Due to the number of powerful people attending these events, the filmmakers ask, Are people in attendance for Jesus, or are they just there to establish some sort of connection with a congressman or politician?

“New World Order” has a strong politically correct, humanist, Anti-Christian worldview that contends the National Prayer Breakfast has become too corrupt. The episode’s sly, underhanded portrayal of Christians trying to push prayer and their faith on others is ultimately too biased and abhorrent.
