Debt, lawsuits, president-elect's resignation threaten Pat Robertson's
former juggernaut
On September 19, 2005, Jason Christy, the head of Christy Media and the
publisher and editor-in-chief of The Church Report, a national news and
business journal for pastors and Christian leaders, was named executive
director of the Christian Coalition by the organization's president, Roberta
Combs. "I am honored and humbled to be chosen by the Christian Coalition's
Board of Directors for this key position," Christy said. "It is crucial at
this time in our nation for people of faith to engage the culture, and to
realize that at the grassroots level they can make a difference."
Within a month, Christy changed his mind, deciding not to take the position.
According to Word News, Christy intimated that it would be difficult to work
with the Christian Coalition and continue running his various businesses.
