Its president is Robert Grant[?], who is also founder and chairman of the lobby group Christian Voice[?]. Civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference[?] served as AFC vice-president, and two former Congressmen (Richard Ichord[?] and Bob Wilson[?]) are cochairmen.
The coalition, while independent, receives copious support from the Unification Church. Grant, whose organization openly cooperates with organizations of the Unification Movement such as CAUSA[?] and the American Constitution Committee[?], defends his organization from charges of a "conspiracy" or "secret links" with the Unification Church, maintaining that the AFC "is not a church coalition, nor does it seek to emphasize the concerns or doctrines of any particular church."
Nonetheless, a majority of AFC officers are members of the Unification Church, and some evangelical Christian leaders are uncomfortable with the group because of the Unification Church link.
