J. Grant Swank, Jr. (ArriveNet Editorials - Oct 05, 2005) -- J. Grant Swank, Jr. Harriet E. Miers was born Roman Catholic. As an adult, she attended Episcopal and Presbyterian worships, seeking a deeper, more personal faith.

Hecht says Miers never got married because she "probably worked too hard. She's close to her family, has a sister and three brothers, goes to her nephews' high school football games, bought a car for one of them." She "had a Catholic upbringing, had not been close to the church, it was off again, on again, then she came to a point in her life when she wanted to change that. She made an abrupt change in 79 or 80. She was very hard-working and successful, she wanted new meaning, substance in her life.

Miers was born a Roman Catholic but became an evangelical Protestant in 1979. She was guided in that voyage by a good friend and then-colleague at their law firm, Nathan L. Hecht. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," Hecht has said. He took her to his own church, the Valley View Christian Church in Dallas, where she was baptized -- born again. Since then, she has been an active and important member of the church.

The relevance, for those who assert here is no relevance, is to the CREDIBILITY of the character witnesses.

There is no issue at all if she is/was Catholic, Episocpalian, or God forbid, a Lutheran. The inquiry is her judicial acumen and legal philosophy vis-a-vis Con Law.
