C-Street House - Religious Affiliations Of Current & Other Occupants Mentioned As Having Lived .....

[global1]

there at one time or another.

I got this info from the Congressional Directory, 11th Congress, 1 Session 2009. I just picked this up in D.C. about a month ago.

I thought I might find a common religious pattern/affiliation of those that have been mentioned in the press as living there or having lived there. Not really a pattern - though - as we have a variety of religious affiliations. Here they are:

Ensign (Nev) - Christian
Wamp (Tenn)- Baptist
Coburn (Okla)- Baptist
Doyle (PA) - Catholic
Pitts (PA) - Protestant
Shuler (NC) - Christian
DeMint (SC) - Presbyterian
Brownback (Kan)- Catholic
Stupak (Mich)- Catholic
Sanford (SC) - Episcopal

I don't know what to make of this. Looks like an equal opportunity 'Family'.

5. Equal opportunity? But where are the agnostics, the atheists?

Oh, right, this is about those who can get elected to Congress in this country where there is constitutionally no religious test for public office.

6. You should look into the philosophy driving Frank Buchman....

who provided the methodology used by The Family. He wanted to unite the world, even if it meant creating a worldwide fascist theocracy, and this included all faiths.

Suit: Pickering Chose Mistress Over Senate Seat
By Rachel Slajda - July 16, 2009, 6:48PM
Former Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) and erstwhile C Street resident turned down Trent Lott's old Senate seat so he could be with his mistress, according to the lawsuit filed by his estranged wife this week.

The suit alleges that when Trent Lott resigned in 2007, Gov. Haley Barbour offered Rep. Pickering the seat. But the congressman turned it down after his girlfriend, Elizabeth Creekmore-Byrd, "insisted" that their relationship could not continue if he accepted the seat, as he would have to stay married for public appearances. She allegedly gave him an ultimatum, and he chose her.
