THE FAMILY aka “the Fellowship”

According to David Kuo, former Special Assistant to President George W. Bush and Deputy Director of the White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives, “The Fellowship’s reach into governments around the world is almost impossible to overstate or even grasp.” Core members and associates of the Fellowship deny that the Fellowship exists

The Family is a secretive network founded in 1935 and since known by several names, including The Fellowship, The Fellowship Foundation, National Fellowship Council, Fellowship House, The International Foundation, National Committee for Christian Leadership, International Christian Leadership, and the National Leadership Council.

The Fellowship has been the subject of controversy for its secrecy, involvement in sex scandals, ties to third-world dictators and oppressive regimes, and approving references to Adolf Hitle, terrorist and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin laden, Cambodian despot  Pol Pot, and the Mafia . It reportedly is built on the “Hitler Concept,” which is a covenant amongst a leadership cadre comprised of members of a political avant garde.

A large number of United States Senators and Members of Congress, primarily Republican, as well as high-ranking military leaders, are known as either “associates” or “close friends” of the Fellowship. Many have resided at properties owned by the Fellowship or an affiliated entity such as Youth with a Mission YWAM) where they pay below-market rents. The low level of rent, tax-free status of the Fellowship, and secrecy of its members which includes not disclosing the scandals of its politician members, among others, has raised concerns.

Extra-marital affairs and other unethical conduct of Fellowship associates and close friends

Three prominent Republicans associated with the Fellowship were recently reported to have engaged in extra-marital affairs. Two of the prominent Republicans, Senator Ensign and Governor Sanford, were considering as running for President in 2012 and their affairs were secretly known to the Family several months before becoming public. The affairs of two of the prominent Republicans, Senator Ensign and then-Congressman Pickering, took place while they were living at the C Street Center. Ensign, Sanford and Pickering voted to impeach Bill Clinton and Ensign and Sanford are on record as calling for Clinton to resign over his affair with Monica Lewinsky

Senator John Ensign

Senator John Ensign, a Fellowship member and longtime resident of the C Street Center, admitted he had an extra-marital affair with a staffer. The announcement by Ensign of his extramarital affair brought additional public scrutiny of the Fellowship and the C Street Center, as Mr. Ensign lived there alongside other high ranking politicians such as Senator Tom Coburn.

Senator Coburn, together with Timothy Coe and David Coe, attempted to intervene to end Ensign’s affair in February 2008, prior to the affair becoming public, including by meeting with the husband of Ensign’s mistress and encouraging Ensign to write a letter to his mistress breaking off the affair. Ensign was driven to Federal Express from C Street Center to post the letter, shortly after which Ensign called to tell his mistress to ignore it. Senator Coburn refuses to speak about his involvement in Ensign’s affair on the grounds of “privilege” because he is a licensed physician in the State of Oklahoma (OB/GYN) and an ordained deacon.

Governor Mark Sanford

In June 2009, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, a Fellowship member and former Congressman from 1995 to 2001, admitted to having an extramarital affair and said that months prior he had sought counseling at the C Street Center. While attempting to refuse federal funds to benefit the citizens of South Carolina on what he claimed to be principled grounds, Governor Sanford was using state funds to fly first class to visit his lover in Argentina. Prior to be elected Governor of South Carolina, Sanford was a frequent visitor to C Street when he served in Congress.

Former Representative Chip Pickering

The wife of Chip Pickering, R-Miss. (1998-2008), recently filed a lawsuit against her husband’s alleged mistress, making the former six-term Republican Congressman from Mississippi the third politician associated with the Capitol Hill “Christian Fellowship” home to be embroiled in a sex scandal. The lawsuit alleges Pickering restarted a relationship with Elizabeth Creekmore Byrd, his college sweetheart, while he was “a United States congressman prior to and while living in the well-known C Street Complex in Washington, D.C.  Pickering kept a diaray that indicates that these men brought women back to C-Street
