among christian tendencies, the nar is especially aggressive in efforts to counter alleged acts of witchcraft; the nar's globally distributed "transformations" pseudo-documentaries by filmmaker george otis, jr. show charismatic christians creating mini-utopias by driving off "territorial spirits" and by banishing or even killing accused witches. during the 2008 united states presidential election, footage surfaced from a 2005 church ceremony in which a nar apostle, kenyan bishop thomas muthee, called upon god to protect sarah palin, as muthee laid hands on palin, from "every form of witchcraft".
