Thank you for your faithful post, sister.
I cannot say that I have read anything about Gingrich’s devotion to Christ. I do know that he claims a conversion and repentance in the Roman Catholic Church.
That is entirely possible. I’ll keep my eyes open. I have listened to one of his “God in America” videos that he produced, and it is a faithful rendering of God’s unique place in the development of this nation. I cannot say, though, that it was about prayer or about Newt Gingrich’s personal religious beliefs. That was not the focus. He did speak, though, as someone with faith.
His background is military chapel, baptist, then catholic. As a product of the military chapel myself — that is where I attended upon salvation, and I guess I consider it still my “home denomination” even though it doesn’t really exist anyplace other than military bases — I know that our experience as protestants or catholics was always not quite what one would have in the civilian world.
I think we learned to rely more on our faith in Christ and less on our denomination as a result, because the full presence of the denomination wasn’t really there to have an impact.
I pray that’s true of Gingrich as well.
I'll keep my eyes open also.
