Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer."You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.
Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.
Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the "Love Won Out" Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla.

They’re reaching so badly now, you almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
Gee, I guess the San Fransisco vote is iffy then. Oh well...
The Sodomite Synchophant Press is likely to get a nasty Barracuda bite or two.
See? This is the strategy. Push her so far to the right that she can’t capture the middle.
We must not allow it.
We must emphasize her centrist issues. Oil. Taxes.
Oh My God! They are praying! AP wants all this praying banned under Obama
ALL Christian churches would like gays to be converted and not practice homosexuality. — if they have a clue about what’s in the Bible. They make it sound like the Wasilla church is the only one. Please.
And, that is supposed to be controversial?
Probably most of the evangelical churches in the area gave out information on the conference.
Mencken would puke at the output of today’s media “muckrakers”
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were they thankful, but because wise in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man and to birds and fourfooted beasts and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleaness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonour their own bodies between themselves.
This is pathetic. As if she’s so right wing and “extreme”, well she was elected in a pretty moderate state.
Also, Catholicism is against homosexuality too.
or
“Not God Bless America, God Damm America”?
I know where I'd rather worship.
I would think that looking at Palin would be enough to convert even Lindsay Graham.
I wonder if they will ask Obama or Biden what stances their respective church’s take on homosexuality.
Far cry from Accusing George W. Bush of creating Aids to kill Blacks and then funding the largest Aids aid in History... Far cry from saying America should be Damned by God, Far cry from calling Jews the Skunks of the earth. Far cry from Mr. Bombastic Jeramiah Wright....
Trying to persuades God’s children to convert to a normal lifestyle is a far cry from Black Libertarian Theology...
sorry ‘because wise’ should have been ‘became wise’

“And, that is supposed to be controversial?”
Maybe “they” want her to go to a church where the reverend talks about “America’s chickens coming home to roost”...
As long as it’s voluntary, who cares?
Always “interesting” how this sort of sincere religious activity is so controversial to the left but forcing gay sex ed upon teenagers (or younger) is simply considered “educational” and non-controversial by the very same people.
