Perhaps, but few in Wichita are complaining right now. Reflecting on the "drugs, violence and sexual issues" that high schoolers contend with today, the Rev. Tyrone Gordon, who pastors an integrated, mainline Wichita Methodist congregation, says of the largely white, evangelical See You population, "I am pretty proud of them for expressing themselves in the way that they are doing." His observations lead him to believe that "these are children who have made their decision and come to [God] on their own."

With House members voting to release the Starr report just hours after the prayer breakfast, it wasn't too little, but it may have...
...charisma and successful leadership. But some of his colleagues now complain that the scandal has dried up contributions to the church and that Lyons has to go -- whether or not the feds lock him up. "To drag millions of people through all this mud is a shame," said the Rev. Charles Kenyotta Tuesday. "In the 118 years of our existence, we've never had a president this dumb."
