Donald Trump, Paula White Rallying Christian Support
Pastor Paula White and Donald Trump are teaming up to host a private meeting with Christian leaders in New York this week.
The Thursday meeting has been billed as a "time of dialogue & leadership with Mr. Trump," who is seriously considering a run for the presidency in the 2012 election.
Details of the meeting could not be confirmed. Multiple calls to Paula White Ministries were not returned.
One of the invitees, however, to the meeting is Brian McLaren, a popular Christian author who is considered part of the controversial emerging church camp.
McClaren posted the invitation he received on his blog last week. It reads: "Pastor Paula along with Mr. Donald Trump would like to extend a special invitation to Brian McLaren for a time of dialogue & leadership meeting with Mr. Trump. This private meeting will take place on Thursday, May 12th, 5:30pm at Trump Tower in NYC."
The author – surprised by both the invitation and the meeting itself – declined the invite "due to cost of travel" and has thus not confirmed details such as attendees or topics that will be discussed. But he predicts the meeting is an attempt by Trump to reach out to Christians before his expected announcement in June on whether he'll launch a presidential bid as a Republican.
