Publisher's Note

   This special section was assembled exclusively for the _St. Louis
MetroVoice_ by Roger Moran and Kerry Messer, founders and directors of
the Missouri Baptist Laymen's Association (MBLA).

   The MBLA was formed in 1991 to research and expose organizations
which are incompatible with biblical Christianity. Both gentlemen have
spent a number of years independently researching Americans United for
the Separation of Church and State (AU) and other like-minded
organizations.

   In 1991, the MBLA successfully challenged the funding of AU by the
Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) and led a battle during the MBC's 1993
convention to revoke AU's exhibition privileges at future conventions.
The MBLA is currently organizing conferences across the state of
Missouri dealing with the issues of church/state separation and
religious liberty and how these issues affect the Christian community.

   Information contained in this section has been thoroughly researched
for accuracy by the MBLA and is supported by documentation where
applicable. As readers will see, the charts and articles contained
within this section reveal many alarming discoveries about AU's true
agenda þ and, the disturbing reality of the Religious and Political
Left's influence on every aspect of life in America.

   For information about the Missouri Baptist Layman's Association call
(314) 668-8055 or (314) 483-2007.
