Christian Exodus
Burnell was a founding member of the Christian Exodus movement. Founded in November 2003 and officially started in May 2004, this Christian separatist movement seeks to relocate its members to South Carolina with the objective of concentrating enough ideological homogeneity to influence the political process.[10] Burnell says states that Roy Moore's removal from office and Lawrence v. Texas were two turning points that drove him to found Christian Exodus.[11]
Burnell's plans to relocate to Anderson, South Carolina in July 2007 were canceled when his new employer disagreed with his political views. In June 2007 Burnell revealed that his plans to relocate himself and his family to South Carolina had been canceled. Writing in an email to supporters Burnell said:
"I sensed from my colleague on the phone that the firm desired to distance itself from me. Indeed they do, and I received a termination letter this morning. As a result, I no longer have an employment “opportunity” in South Carolina, and having a Biblical mandate to provide for my family, I must therefore remain in California with my existing client base until I find another “opportunity” in the Palmetto State."[12]
