Jesus and Witches

[maseman]

Newsweek

The video clip is from 2005, and Sarah Palin, who is running for governor, stands on the dais of a small church; three pastors surround her in a huddle. They are touching her shoulders, her forehead, her back. The would-be governor is stone still, eyes cast down, palms up toward heaven. The man on her left, the one touching her forehead, bends occasionally to whisper in her ear.

This is Ed Kalnins, senior pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God, the church Palin attended from the time she was 4-years-old until 2002. The man behind her is praying loudly, relentlessly and with an intensity rarely seen in America's mainstream churches. This is the Kenyan pastor Thomas Muthee, a Pentecostal powerhouse who has a reputation for being able to cast out demons and witches through prayer.

2. Glad to see that the "mainstream" is FINALLY covering this.

Maseman, you might consider changing your title to make it clear that it's about Palin's whackjob churches. (maybe something like "MSM (or Newsweek) finally goes there - Palin's churches and the witch hunter") I think you still have time...
