1) Black churches are pretty socially liberal....and theologically conservative. It's an odd phenomenon that African and African-majority churches are more liberal than European-majority churches. Contrast the American Episcopal Church with Akinola's brand of Episcopalianism.
2) A bit less than I expected, Democrats can be socially conservative, too.
3) Surprising, considering what orientation his chief of staff was...
4) Interesting...
5) Latinos are very much socially conservative and preserve a racist caste system of peninsulares-mestizos-Indians virtually intact from the 19th Century....but are very much socially liberalizing on this issue, so I'm a bit uncertain on that.
6) Asian Christians are scary about as much as the Falwell brand of White Christianity.
7) Sadly not surprising at all.
8) Again, not surprising.
And I'm uneasy when a minority with a long history of persecution (which is why they went from New York state to Utah in the first place) is singled out over the likes of say....Rick Warren.
And she's also one of mine. ;P
