Talk:Seven Mountain Mandate

Movement or concept?

I don't think this constitutes a movement as much as an idea/concept - possibly a theology.

Is there some kind of test for whether something is a movement or not? eg. that its followers identify with it in an affiliatory sense, rather than just as a model/way of thinking? 194.223.4.117 (talk) 04:46, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't know (that is, I literally do not know, not "I'm dubious of") whether it has enough of a distinctive intellectual apparatus to have been regarded by disinterested scholars and academics as a theology independent of dominionism, but I take your point about whether strictly speaking it's a "movement". Perhaps a mission, in the Christian sense. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Information lacking

Basic information that is lacking from the current version of this article: how exactly followers of the Seven Mountain Mandate would change public policy in the realms of family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. That's a pretty serious thing to leave out of an article such as this, if we aim to treat subjects in encyclopedic manner at Wikipedia. 76.190.213.189 (talk) 00:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

This started way before 1975. It goes even further than 1948 British-Israelism. It goes back further than Lucis Trust, British-Israelism, Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Aleister Crowley and the Latter Rain Movement. It goes further back than Jane Lead. It goes further back than Valentinus. There is much more information missing. 2603:6011:A202:E19D:5979:1087:2582:E20A (talk) 23:05, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't think so. This specifically started in the 1970s due to the influence of right wing conservatives that opposed desegregation in 1954. It wasn't until the 1970s that this movement had enough money, influence, and impetus to make changes. Most of the things you reference have nothing at all to do with this.
