In the pews, longtime Bible Way parishioner Anton J. Gunn directs the statewide political operation of Clinton’s main rival, Senator Barack Obama.

The congregation as a whole, some 10,000 strong, sits somewhere in the middle, according to both men.

“I think we have a lot of people who support Hillary Clinton, and we’ve got a lot of people who support Barack Obama,” Jackson said.

    I see that no one wants to touch this one! So I will. How does one who considers him or herself a mature Christian, support Hillary or Barak in their endorsement of abortion and the other planks of the democratic platform that are opposed to the normative of Scripture.
