Meeting between Donald Trump and hundreds of Christian conservative leaders to happen in June

Hundreds of Christian leaders and social conservatives will be meeting with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump next month to clarify his policies on certain issues.

"Our goal is to be able to have a conversation that could lead to a better understanding of what Trump has to offer to the country," Tony Perkins, the president of Family Research Council, told Fox News. "If we don't try, the outcome is not going to be good."

The private, by invitation-only gathering will take place in New York on June 21. As many as 500 Christian and conservative leaders are expected to be present. Perkins is among those spearheading the meeting, along with former presidential candidate Ben Carson and United in Purpose leader Bill Dallas, reports Time.

"The vast majority of Southern Baptists are very much where I am today – we're trying to figure this out," Southern Baptist Convention president Ronnie Floyd said, according to Fox News. "We're trying to navigate through these waters that are very uncertain and very difficult."

Perkins clarified that Trump will answer questions and won't be making a speech. The conservative leaders wish to know in detail what his plans are for the country, including policies on religious liberty and pro-life issues, potential nominees for the Supreme Court, and possible candidates for the vice-presidency. The conservative leaders will not be making endorsements; rather, the meeting is to help them to decide what to do this coming election.

"None of us have endorsed Mr. Trump, nor have we condemned Mr. Trump," Floyd said. "This is about the possibility of being able to appoint the next four Supreme Court justices. This is about the dignity of human life from the womb to the tomb. This is about religious freedom. I'm not about to sit at home and not express something. I'm accountable to God and I believe I'm accountable to my fellow Americans."

Christians are said to be still struggling with Trump's previous statements that go against what the Bible teaches.

"I want to be actively supportive of a candidate who can help turn this nation around," Perkins said. "With Trump – I'm not there yet. I hope to be there – but I'm not there right now."

Expected to be present, according to The Christian Post, are mega-church pastors Ed Young and Jack Graham, First Liberty's Kelly Shackleford, the American Family Association's Tim Wildmon, Southern Baptist Convention president Ronnie Floyd, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, Faith and Freedom Coalition's Ralph Reed, Concerned Women for America's Penny Nance, American Values president Gary Bauer, Family Leader president Bob Vander Plaats, among many others.
