And, according to one South Carolina pastor, she also possesses an impressive handle on the scriptures.
The Rev. Frederick Donnie Hunt, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, met Clinton at the Main Street Bakery in Columbia, South Carolina, on Wednesday, when she came in with campaign staff and reporters to purchase some baked goods, CNN reported.
Hunt, who was quietly studying his Bible at the time, said that the presidential candidate approached him and asked what he was reading. When he told her that he was studying Corinthians 13, Clinton responded, Oh I know it well, and commended him for exploring scripture.
Youre doing what is the most important thing to do, its continuing to study and learn what the scripture says and what it means, Clinton said. I have a preacher friend who sends me scripture and devotionals, sometimes mini-sermons every day.
Clinton went on to call the Bible alive.
Its the living word, she told Hunt, who later said that he was impressed by the former first ladys biblical knowledge.
The pastor, who said that he believes it is essential for a presidential candidate to know the Bible well, now supports Clinton after previously choosing President Barack Obama over her as his candidate of choice in 2008, CNN reported.

I bet some of her best friends are black too.
The photo op is of Hillary with a black guy.
‘Destroyer of Worlds’ ... the Newsweek folks couldn’t have realize how appropriate that imagery is!
We’ll see how many Catholics support her.

It's not impressing this Evangelical.
Me? Memorizing Scripture and spouting it does not mean holiness to me.
It's a good start though.
Psalm 119:11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
And you heard that where?
Oh no, not the dreaded Scripture!
I am a retired Pastor of 42 years. I can tell you that Satan knows Scripture far better than most clergy and certainly far more than Hillary Clinton.So this only proves that Hillary still knows how to work a crowd better than some fake “tent revival” show.
BTW I never would have thought of voting for Hillary or Obama...but I digress.

This is exactly my point. Maybe my church is different, but I can assure you, if one of our pastors made the national news by having a conversation with a former first lady/potential future president about their FAITH, especially in a positive light, there WOULD be some some sort of post about it on the church’s facebook page, or SOMEONE from the church would post about it on the church’s facebook page.
You should also be getting multiple hits if you Google this guy’s name along with terms such as “church” or “baptist,” or the name of the church. Why? Virtually all church webpages (strange that this church doesn’t appear to actually have one—their facebook page link to their church website goes nowhere) will have a page devoted to giving bios on their pastors and staff. Virtually all churches also now post copies of their pastors’ sermons in some form on their website, whether it is just hard copy, or audio, or video. Also you are going to have church newsletters with the pastors’ names soemwhere in them. And if not that, either a page listing past sermons sermons that were preached or what is coming up. And if the church either advertises in the paper about it services or their is a religious column in the local papers, the pastors are highly likely to be referred to here.
But this guy? Zip, nada, zilch. So I’m thinking either this whole thing is totally fabricated from the get-go and the media fell for it hook, line, and sinker, or it will turn out this guy is simply a campaign worker or other Hillary plant who claims he is a self-appointed “minister,” a la Reverunt Sharpton or Reverunt Jackson.
Yep.
The church is real enough and its pastor is Samuel K. Lewis. Info on ‘Frederic Hunt’ is impossible to come by outside of Hillary PR.
It’s being looked into.
met: And you heard that where?
"Anyone (Catholic or not) who believes Obama is a secret Catholic, based only on a trinket he supposedly carries in his pocket, deserves to be laughed out of the voting booth (and if they're Catholic, laughed out of the confessional booth)."
-- yours truly, post #19 on the 2008 thread Obama's Devotion to the Virgin Mary: Who Knew?
Isn’t the number 13 associated with witches?
Long before Hillary approached this pastor, he felt the hot breath of the Secret Service on his neck whispering soft thunder into his ear, “Don’t embarrass Mrs. Clinton or there WILL be consequences!”
VERY interesting!!!!! NOTHING about the “pastor” on the web.......phony photo-op.
I can envision many here laughing themselves sick over the fact that you didn’t realize or notice that the thread about Obama being a Catholic was SATIRE/HUMOR.
A politician trying to cover all bases. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Oh, that’s because “many here” utterly lack a talent for satire so I didn’t pick up on it. It actually takes brains to be funny.
And, hey, you’re gettin’ personal! May have to hit the abuse button.
Will those Catholics be reporting directly to you? Do you have some direct lines to all the American Catholics?
