"There are some of you in this room, I would venture to guess, who have ripped apart families." [View all]

LUTZ, Fla. -- Newt and Callista Gingrich walked into the massive Idlewild Baptist Church here Sunday morning and sat in the third row of pews to hear a sermon that touched at points on themes central to Gingrich's biography: personal mistakes, betrayal of one's closest relations, and a search for forgiveness.

"There are some of you in this room, I would venture to guess, who have ripped apart families," said the preacher, Russell Moore, the dean of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Moore's message -- focused on the sanctity of human life -- was one of forgiveness and the grace of God.

Gingrich, the former House speaker from Georgia, has said he has gone to God over his two adulterous relationships and three marriages.
