Reverend Al Caldwell is a member of the Relgious Right who is aligned with Mary Marsh and John Van Dyke. He is a friend of the President and Leo McGarry and a desired ally of the White House. He vows to "make things right" after Bartlet's grand daughter was threatened by a radical Christian group.
Later, after a group of Chinese Christians arrive in the United States, he pulls Josh Lyman aside to avoid "a Mary Marsh mudfight" that Sam Seaborn was engaging in, and said his church or he himself will pay for the passage of all those on the ship. Josh starts to tell him about the cost, but Caldwell is aware of it already.
