Executive summary: Reclusive fundamentalist-Christian philanthropist Reclusive Christian philanthropist from Orange County, CA. During the 1970s, he became a disciple of R. J. Rushdoony, an Armenian cleric who preached the doctrine of "reconstructionism", a brand of Christian fundamentalism which advocates governance by Old Testament law. He was instrumental in starting the career of conservative intellectual Marvin Olasky. Ahmanson is the heir to the Home Savings and Loan fortune, a California bank purchased by Washington Mutual in 1998, and manages his philanthropy through the private corporation, the Fieldstead Institute. He suffers from Tourette's syndrome, so most of his public statements are made through his wife, Roberta. Among the projects financed by Ahmanson was California's Proposition 8, an amendment to the state's constitution to end gay marriage.
In 1985, Ahmanson told the Orange County Register, "My goal is the total integration of biblical law into our lives."
