...church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, like many other churches, did not have a moral beginning. It spoke out against gay marriage in Hawaii in 1998 and the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and '80s. Just recently it marshaled its forces to vote against gay marriage in California. Gays are furious about this as they should be. The Mormons contributed half of the $40 million war chest to defeat gay rights.

...Barack Obama found himself spiritually isolated upon entering the Oval Office. He famously broke ties last year with Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor, and resigned his membership at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. So, just as he followed Bush's lead in choosing Evergreen as a church home, the President is taking a page from Clinton's playbook on this front: Obama has a small group of pastors he contacts for prayer and spiritual support (including two men who played the same role at times for Bush...
