Family Research Council distances itself from Rekers

Family Research Council (FRC) first reaction to the Rent Boy news about former FRC board memeber George A. Rekers was, they "had never heard of Dr. Rekers."

The corporate attorney was asked to research the matter:

We did verify that Dr. Rekers was a member of the original Family Research Council Board prior to its merger with Focus on the Family in 1987. FRC has had no contact with Dr. Rekers or knowledge of his activities in over a decade, so I can't speak to what he may or may not have done. However, I can say that while it's extremely disappointing when any Christian leader engages in the very activities that they "preach" against, it's not surprising. The Scriptures clearly teach the fallen nature of all people.
