Google and World Vision

This article from Breitbart continues the sordid tale of World Vision and what really drives their efforts.  On the heels of their policy U-turn, the latest news is that one member of their Board of Directors has resigned.  So, let me get this straight, a board member, who had been working under the previous World Vision policy, now has decided that they can know longer work for that same Board under the same policy that has stood in place for all but a few hours. I guess we can name at least one person who voted for the change in policy.
Finding it interesting that there was a member of Google on the World Vision Board, a little research indicates that of the 17 Board members, 2 of them are from Google.  I'm sure there is no connection between the close ties to Google and anything to do with a push to tap into those resources and connections.  So, I know you're curious, let's see who is on the Board for World Vision:

• James F. Beré Jr., Chair | Chairman and CEO, Alta Resources
• Dr. Vinh Chung | Vanguard Skin Specialist, Seasweep survivor
• Rev. John Crosby | Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church
• Lisa Trevino Cummins | President, Urban Strategies
• Gary Duim, Secretary/Treasurer | Vice Chair, U.S. Bancorp (retired)
• Jacquelline Fuller | Director of Giving, Google
• Sandy Grubb | Columbia-Willamette Women of Vision, Social Venture Partners Portland; author
• Dr. Stephen A. Hayner | President, Columbia Theological Seminary
• Christin McClave | UNIFI Coaching, LLC
• Katie Smith Milway | Head, Knowledge Group, The Bridgespan Group; author
• John Park, Vice Chair | Senior Project Manager, Google
• Deborah Pegues | Author and motivational speaker, The Pegues Group; CFO, Church of God in Christ, West L.A.
• Rev. Dr. Soong-Chan Rah | Associate professor, North Park Theological Seminary; urban church planter
• Dr. Joan Singleton | Vice President, Milton Hershey School
• Richard E. Stearns | President, World Vision U.S.
• Roland C. Warren | Board Member, National Fatherhood Initiative CEO, Care Net
• Bonnie Wurzbacher | Chief Resource Development Officer, World Vision International

I think we can all see now, with this tremendous theological powerhouse assembled by World Vision, how they came to adopt a position that was so out of odds with traditional Church teaching.
One last thing.  It is always interesting to see the amount of hand wringing and consternation that "evangelicals" go through when an issue such as this comes up.  Last week the cry from these people  was that the mean, bigoted Christians were removing the food right out of the mouths of children and it should all be about the children and not really what World Vision believes.  Interestingly enough, I haven't seen one of those same people write in the same public way and demand that Jacquelline Fuller remain on the board for the good of the children despite her beliefs.  I guess the good of the children only cuts one way.
