On the same day that presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump met with roughly 1,000 faith leaders, his campaign announced an Evangelical Executive Advisory board.

The advisory board announced on Tuesday will provide support to Trump on important issues for Evangelical and faith-driven Americans.

The members of the board weren’t asked to endorse Trump, but according to the campaign email, “the formation of the board represents Donald J. Trump’s endorsement of those diverse issues important to Evangelicals and other Christians, and his desire to have access to the wise counsel of such leaders as needed.”

“I have such tremendous respect and admiration for this group and I look forward to continuing to talk about the issues important to Evangelicals, and all Americans, and the common sense solutions I will implement when I am President,” Trump stated.

Later this month, the board will launch a larger Faith and Cultural Advisory Committee.
