First point. She led the Exodus Ministries, whose expressed purpose is to lead others to Jesus Christ while attending to their needs and restoring them to living constructive lives.

I don't know many people who do that, who aren't Christians, do you?

I know plenty of fine Christian women whom God called to be single, and have done marvellous things for Christ because they didn't have a family to worry about. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with her ability to make policy.

You're completely off base. Absolutely, totally, off base.

As I posted above, I agree IF she is a Christian. Obviously, being a Christian changes everything. Are you sure that she was in fact a director of this organization?

One more point. It is not that choosing to remain single and renounce a family is unimportant, but that the reasons for doing so are all important. If she did it for liberal, secularist, careerist reasons, it speaks volumes about her policy choices. If she, instead, did it for Christian reasons, it also speaks volumes in a different direction.

She led the Exodus Ministries, whose expressed purpose is to lead others to Jesus Christ while attending to their needs and restoring them to living constructive lives.

Here are their express objectives in their own words ...

The Exodus program has the following 3 primary objectives:

1) to decrease the number of ex-offenders who become homeless and unemployed, eventually committing new crimes and returning to prison.

2) to assist ex-offenders in obtaining employment and managing their finances so they can re-establish a positive self-sufficient lifestyle.

3) to reunite ex-offenders with their families and teach them the life-skills necessary for daily living through counseling and training services.
