James Dobson resigned as chairman of Focus on the Family, The Associated Press reports.
He will continue to host Focus on the Family’s radio program, write a monthly newsletter and speak out on moral issues, Eric Gorski writes for the AP. Daly told Gorski that there is no timetable for Dobson to leave the radio program that garners 1.5 million listeners, and the group will “look for the next voice for the next generation” while Dobson remains on the air.
On political matters, Dobson “will continue to speak out as he always has – a private citizen and not a representative of the organization he founded,” said Gary Schneeberger, a Focus on the Family spokesman. He said the nonprofit ministry and Focus on the Family Action – an affiliate set up under a different section of the tax code that permits more political activity – will continue to be active on public policy.
