The group was founded in San Diego, California in 1978[5] by Beverly LaHaye, whose husband Timothy LaHaye was an evangelical Christian minister and author of The Battle for the Mind, as well as coauthor of the Left Behind series.[6][7]
The CWA identifies itself as an amalgam of "policy experts and... activists[s]" with an anti-feminist approach to politics.[4]
