The political ideas of the Christian association were close to those of John Horne Blackmore, the first leader of the Social Credit Party of Canada, and Ron Gostick, another important member of that party. Carr's Federation was closely linked with the Californian Council of Christian Laymen (1949–1964), especially with Alfred Kohlberg, Edward Geary Lansdale, and Stan Steiner. The council also distributed Carr's "News Behind the News", and its president was Verne Paul Kaub, also known for being an anticommunist author of conspiracy theories.
