"In 2005 elder Attiken organized a national Innovation Conference. This was a way to bring Emergent Church thought leaders and inter-spiritual
mysticism into Ohio and have our pastors and leaders learn from these teachers. They would then go back and teach their congregations, slowly spreading the virus statewide.

| Raj Attiken, dedicated to bringing the emergent church (modern gnostic-new ageism) into the Ohio Conference --Real Rebellion-- |
A partial list of Innovation speakers includes Leland Kaiser (an occult savant if there ever was one), Leonard Sweet (the chief evangelist for spiritual formation), Doug Pagitt (an emerging church thought leader), Marcia Prager (she self-identifies as a Jewish rabbi, and teaches people how to “connect with the divine feminine” through tarot cards), and the theologically malnourished Samir Selmanovic. In October 2010, Selmanovic even held worship services with wiccans at Faith House Manhattan to celebrate the occulted festival of Samhain with them.
Despite knowing these things, elder Attiken kept inviting Selmanovic to Ohio several years in a row. Learning this – a few constituents began to get very concerned. When the president was publically called out on his dangerous array of Innovation Conference speakers at a town-hall meeting in April, 2010 – his response was “We are mature enough to handle these kinds of speakers, maybe some of you aren’t.” Encapsulated in this jarring response are four elements:
- An elevated unsanctified pride- Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. Jeremiah 13:15,16
- A belief that leaders are not accountable to the people- Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; Ezekiel 34:7-10
- A belief the leaders are smarter than the people- They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. John 9:34
- The revelation that he doesn’t understand the nature of the enemy that he is playing with-And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11" AdVindicate
