"Am I reading that correctly? Is Moyers an ordained Baptist minister?"

No biggie. Isn't Rev. Jesebelle Jackson?

Heck, you can buy ordinations from little ads in the back of Popular Mechanics.

To be ordained in the Baptist church carries with it a lot more theological meaning than what goes with responding to mail order ads for ordination. To wit, it has traditionally meant that the person was a professing Christian, someone who had accepted Christ as his Savior, and adhered to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith.

The reason I find it appalling to learn that Moyers has been ordained by the Baptists is that he deviated so far from the tenets of the faith. I don't even consider Jesse Jackson as bad an example as Moyers is on that count.
