As for Dr. Sutton, I left Two Rivers shortly after he arrived and dismissed some of the finest ministers in the church because his interpretation of the Bible clearly indicated that women should not be in those positions. If he has serious political ambitions, keep in mind that his interpretation will always be right and that any opposing position will be wrong. His black and white world may be a good fit for his church, but I have serious reservations on his ability to represent a diverse constituency.

Many ministers, regardless of denomination, get starry-eyed with their own celebrity. I sometimes get the feeling that Dr. Sutton has a bit of powerlust that will only be satisfied if he replaces (and outpaces) Pat Robertson.
