Religion and
Politics Clash
Religion and politics clash over a local
church's declaration that Democrats are not welcome.
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.
