Message Name: Pastor throws Democrats out of church
Date Posted: 05/06/2005
Message: WLOS-TV ran the following item about the pastor of a large Baptist church ex-communicating church members if they did not agree to repent at the altar. This is a funny 3-market DMA with Greenville and Spartanburg all in there. Has the story been reported on elsewhere either on TV or in print or radio? Here is the story: "East Waynesville Baptist asked nine members to leave. Now 40 more have left the church in protest. Former members say Pastor Chan Chandler gave them the ultimatum, saying if they didn't support George Bush, they should resign or repent. The minister declined an interview with News 13. But he did say "the actions were not politically motivated." There are questions about whether the bi-laws were followed when the members were thrown out." I think this is a big story. What about other coverage of it?
