Ian and Mary Grant haven't been as high profile Christian Right figures as Bruce Logan and Graham Capill - but are they more insidious? At times, they have overplayed their hands, and the December 2005 North and South article on them is no exception. Take a look at their Google profile, and you can spot Challenge Weekly, Radio Rhema and Promise Keepers lurking around in the undergrowth. Mary was involved with the Campaign for our Children anti-Hero campaign in the mid-nineties. Ian was a contributor to John Sax's belated attempt to derail the Civil Union Act, during which Ian was a panelist at an anti-CUB rally at the Milford Baptist Church. The article also cites Sarah Heeringa, former editor of Off the Fence, the defunct Christian Right parenting organisation opposed to comprehensive sex education. Added to that, Grant protests at the composition of the Families Commission, and that New Zealand objected to the Doha Declaration, a conservative United Nations statement about families. One wishes Grant would be more candid about these things- is he really not aware that Australian, Canadian and American Christian Right pressure groups have gotten government funding to interfere with LGBT and pro-choice initiatives within international forums? If Australian Christian Right groups are laughing at the New Zealand Christian Right, it's a healthy state of affairs. Sorry, Ian mate. You may be born again, but we weren't born yesterday.
