Welcome to the website for Evangelical Ministries to New Religions (EMNR), a professional membership association for individuals and ministries addressing "cults" of Christianity, new religious movements, and world religions.

Each year EMNR holds a national conference in which our members and other participants network with one another, share important information and research, and increase their knowledge and ministry skills. These conferences have been held in various locations throughout the United States, including Philadelphia, Denver, Atlanta, and Chicago and on the campus of distinguished universities and seminaries such as Beeson Divinity School, Southern Baptist Seminary–Louisville, Biola University, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Click here to order tapes from these sessions, and here for copies of some of the papers that were delivered.

If you're a member of EMNR and need to renew your membership, please take a few moments to do so. Download the membership renewal application form so we can continue to fulfill our mission to recognize, encourage, and strengthen responsible ministry to new religious movements.

If you're not a member of EMNR, please take a few moments to consider why membership in EMNR will be of benefit to you.

EMNR strives to provide additional services for its members. One way this can be accomplished is through our research papers page. Here you will find a number of helpful papers archived on this site or linked from elsewhere, addressing new religious movements from a variety of perspectives, including theological, missiological and academic.

For information about our next National Conference, please visit our conference page.

Important notices:

• Change of address. EMNR has taken on a new executive director. We value and appreciate the efforts of outgoing director Bob Waldrep, who served EMNR for the past ten years. The Interim Director is L. L. "Don" Veinot, and our new mailing address is in Tennessee. Additional details can be found on the press release page.
• Response to controversy. In a workshop at our 2008 national conference, one of the presenters unfairly accused certain Christian teachers of from the CBMW and the Southern Baptist Convention of espousing errant doctrine leading to cultic "influences." The board of EMNR has decided to issue this statement to clarify our position on this workshop.

We look forward to being of service to you.

L.L. (Don) Veinot, Jr.
President and Interim Executive Director

Steve Hogel
Assistant Executive Director
