Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, accompanied by her brother and other members of her family, attended services at an Episcopal church near downtown Dallas on Sunday.
Miers smiled at reporters but did not stop to answer questions as she entered the Church of the Incarnation, which Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and other well-known state politicians attend.
When asked by a reporter if she was surprised by the conservative reaction to her nomination, Miers replied, "Nice to see you."
...For years, Miers was a member of Valley View Christian Church in Dallas, but she and about 150 of its 1,200 active members have left the church to form a separate congregation, according to Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht. A friend of Miers, Hecht also is part of the breakaway group.
Valley View is part of a movement known as Christian Churches and Churches of Christ....As a child, Miers attended Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. In 1979, she was baptized at Valley View, and she later taught Sunday school classes there.

Busted!
Yeah, you should. Bush undertook two wars and a war against global terrorism when no one - not even the Europeans - supported him. He dealt with 9/11 and Katrina when all anyone could say that he was a murderer, a racist, and an imperialist cowboy.
If that doesn't meet your level of "trust," I'm not sure anyone needs it.
I'm diverging from the party line, which at this point in time is steering the Republican Party towards minority status.
Though considering how the Republicans on Capitol Hill have handled that responsibility-mostly by squandering their credibility with fiscal and social conservatives-I'm not so sure that's a bad thing.
if you look at the title, this thread is ABOUT her church attendance. i take her faith at face value and am not looking behind it to see where she is going to church and why it is one place versus another. and to say that they have left us nothing else to go on and this is what they are trying to sell her on is weak justification. no one is COMPELLING anyone to be silly about this.
I'm a computer illiterate.
From now on I'll use cogently reasoned, linear arguments that don't rely upon images to illustrate my point.
Oh wait, those don't seem to have had any measurable impact upon you either.
---My understanding is that another church that she attends is one of those "purpose driven churches" invented by Rick Warren. So being works driven ... I truly question her judgment and how Biblically aligned she is. I don't believe she has the ability to distinguish between Christian and non Christian doctrine---
We have a winner. I think you're maybe at least tied with Ann Coulter here. What do are panel of judges say?
Actually it does ... how MANY times must she go to church in Sunday if NOT for show? Do you normally go to TWO church services on a Sunday?
Uh, some of them have already been approved by the same Senate for their current seats.
Well, Mr. Canadian gif, is now telling Americans how to run a major American political party.
It is very well known that the Canadian elite has almost a luciferian fear of the religous right.
No, not really. Many people this week took comfort that she went to an evangelical church. Episcopal is too close to mainline liberal. That's why it matters.
Plus this new "splinter" thing is, well another twist.
We're not selecting the Church Lady of the United States.
This is a Supreme Court vacancy, and she should be judged-exclusively-upon her adherence to the U.S. Constitution, and the body of case and common law that comprise this nation's system of jurisprudence.
Not today, but used to all the time.
Next question
1. She is visiting Kay Bailey Hutchison
2. One of her family members belongs and they all went to church with that family member
3. Pastor at this church is a noted speaker and they wanted to hear him
4. Musical performance within the service by someone they all wanted to hear
5. Attending an Episcopal Church just to give her detractors something else to go nutso about
I agree it is a silly article. i take her faith at face value and am not looking behind it to see where she is going to church and why it is one place versus another.
Me too. In fact, I've been totally consisten "no religious tests"
and to say that they have left us nothing else to go on and this is what they are trying to sell her on is weak justification.
Justification of what?
no one is COMPELLING anyone to be silly about this.
Yet people are.........
Here is a link to her church http://www.vvcc.org/beliefsgo.asp
Who you supporting for President in '08?? I want to know who not to vote for.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Uh joesy, if you had kept up to date, she has gone into the more conservative splinter group.
But what the hey, you don't keep up to date, you relish yourself as a contrarian.
I could make jokes about "Assumption" and other doctrines, but I want to cut down on the time I spend in Purgatory...
