Huntington, WVUSA - A visit to West Virginia by Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry has been put on hold.

Kerry was scheduled to attended services at the Apostolic Christ Cathedral in Guyandotte on Sunday.

West Virginia Senators Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller were to attend with Kerry.

The church pastor, Reverend E. S. Harper, said they were not welcome if they planned to discuss politics during the service.

The Kerry campaign says the church issue did not affect the decision to cancel the trip.




I wish that more of our clergy would stop allowing themselves to be used by the Democrats. Seems like the only time you see a white Democrat in a Black church is during election time.

The really amazing thing about this, is that the pastor is a friend of Byrd...and the congregation presured Pastor Harper to put a sock in it; THEY didn't want their church and themselves to be political pawns.

This story was spun to sound like the "brave pastor" was making a stand, when he was the one all for it, until it looked like it might cost him his job.

Kerry isn't coming because the people don't want him!
