On 9/26/26, Abildness' friends at KEY Fellowship are organizing for Awaken the Dawn's Communion America event. "You can host a tent of worship and gospel proclamation on your campus or city that culminates at a communion table. It's a Great Communion Revival!" 3/

On 9/11/26, Apostle Abby Abildness' Healing Tree International is hosting a National Prayer Event in conjunction with the Nehemiah Alliance. 2/

Oops. I was wrong. Here is the 2025 Lancaster Prayer Breakfast’s 7M line up. 7/

Also pictured on the website: Joshua Enck, Sight and Sound President Michael Geer, PAFamily/ILC President Chums. 5/

The website includes images from a previous prayer breakfast. Zoom in and you’ll notice Lancaster County Commissioners Josh Parsons and Ray D’Agostino in attendance. Tracks. 3/

Looks like this year’s Lancaster Prayer Breakfast is leaning into the language of the Seven Mountain Mandate — with PA State Rep Bryan Cutler participating for “government.” The breakfast has used 7M language in the past but this is the first time I’ve noticed public figures names attached. 1/

In fact… Apostle Abildness and Apostle Stock were together in Hershey about a year ago - along with Jim and Rosemary Garlow AND Sight and Sound founder Glenn Eshelman. You *might* recognize a couple other faces as well. 6/

Quick aside: Two of the 24 are in South Central, PA. Apostle Abby Abildness is from Lancaster, PA and is now centered in Dauphin County. She spends a lot of time at the PA State Capitol. Charles Stock founded Life Center Ministries in Harrisburg, PA. 5/

Garlow was recently included as one of the Top 24 Leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation in the U.S. in @religiondispatches.org / @praeyesright.bsky.social. 4/ religiondispatches.org/2026/04/02/t...

Here are Sight & Sound founders Glenn and Shirley Eshelman with Apostle Jim Garlow. 3/

Here’s Commissioner Josh Parsons - included on America’s Top 10 Most Dangerous Election Deniers” Watchlist - at an event led by a NAR pastor. Democrat Alice Yoder is there. Local news is not. Why do I bother? Nothing changes.

Noon. Penn Square. County Commissioners Alice Yoder and Josh Parsons and Lord’s House of Prayer’s (LHOP) Pastor Matt Kroll. Was this event advertised anywhere other than LHOP’s socials and Sunday sermon?!

Actually, @lancasteronline.bsky.social, please watch this clip. “Can I tell you what happened on Monday or Tuesday down in our county commissioners office with some of our county commissioners and a bunch of intercessors and pastors? We were worshipping with the worship leader in the building.”

@lancasteronline.bsky.social Tagging you in case this feels newsworthy to you. Does this crew have the legal right to do this? For sure. Does the public deserve knowing about how the New Apostolic Reformation is maneuvering in plain sight? I’m not a journalist but I think so.

"Church, it's time to get our hands dirty again! Don't be afraid of what's out there. God said, let your light shine and the darkness will be overtaken! Just love, love, love is the dirt on our hands." Lord's House of Prayer's Pastor Kroll at last week's Rededicate Lancaster to God ceremony. A/

Per @lancasteronline.bsky.social, Lancaster had (has?) its own "local chapter" in what was then-called Day Seven, now called Hope and Restoration Counseling. I say “has” because Christian orgs have a thing for changing their name to hide their past. 1/ LNP: 6/29/1996 (L), 3/31/1989 (R)

So I wrote about it. For all the receipts, photos, video clips, transcripts and related resources, followers will need an free/unpaid subscription to my Substack. DM me your email address to keep it simple. Or follow this link: lancpaexaminer.substack.com/welcome 13/

In a @lancasteronline.bsky.social article Carey said, “There’s a very porous line between the language of spiritual warfare and all the violent imagery of we’re going to battle, have to conquer, dominion — between that and the potential for political violence.” 8/ tinyurl.com/26374vta

"This" is a decree rededicating Lancaster County and Pennsylvania at large to God, read by Apostle Abildness and presented to "Our county commissioners" at "The Harvest Center" (which may not actually be a thing...yet...). The event was not publicized on social media. Very quiet. 6/

So what happens when a Top Election Denier and a Top NAR Leader intersect? It's Monday, May 18, 2026 - the day after "Rededicate 250..." Abildness: "I want to present this to our county commissioners, so Lancaster County has this rededication to the nation." What's "this?" 5/

You know, the New Apostolic Reformation - or NAR... @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social referred to them as "the principal architects" of the January 6th US Capitol attack. Fair to say that Parsons and Abildness are kinda sorta aligned, no? 4/ tinyurl.com/pes6rz52

"Coupled with his previous refusal to recertify a previous election despite its results complying with Commonwealth law, [Josh Parsons] extreme efforts to eliminate drop boxes and restrict vote-by-mail show the risk he can pose to voting access." Read more ⬇️ 2/ tinyurl.com/2z47d2wu

Here are the Lapp Bros in Iraq with Abby Abildness. I could use some help on this one.... 6/ tinyurl.com/yjs5w38z

This is probably going to sound snarky but I sincerely want to know: At what point after a political candidate is endorsed by a pseudo-historian Christian nationalist does that detail become no longer relevant? 1/ @lancasteronline.bsky.social

RE: The alleged abuse referenced above. Don't expect any empathy for the victims. Allie Beth Stuckey will be sure to end anything like that. 2/

"One of the frustrations...is that we were signaling big changes, and then there wasn’t that much actually changing on the ground," Tom Lisi, county issues reporter...said in a question of Greene. “How do we signal to people it means something and isn’t an empty gesture?” Mmmhmm. 12/

Later in 2024, I applied for a grant with the LNP-aligned Lancaster County Local Journalism Fund. I included recommendations from folks I've worked with at Mother Jones, People for the American Way, the SPLC and religious scholars. My proposal was rejected. 9/
