Rev. Ed Kalnins

September 5, 2008

Let me share some things with you that you pobably didn’t know, but I am sure that some did. Critics of President Bush will be banished to hell. Yep, that’s just off the press. Add to that that those who backed Kerry in 2004 may not be allowed into heaven. The jury is still out on that. And of course the September 11 attack was pointing to the end times battle over the Christian faith.

All of those pronouncements were from Jeremy Wright’s counterpart- the Rev. Ed Kalnins!

The Rev. Ed Kalnins had no way of knowing he’d be a controversial figure in the 2008 presidential race when he became pastor of a small Pentecostal church in Alaska nine years ago. He was the pastor of the then little known Sarah Palin. A statement on the website of Kalnins’ church, the Wasilla Assembly of God, indicates that Palin attended that church from the time she was a teenager, but adds that she and her family haven’t been members of the congregation since 2002.

Even so, Kalnins said, Palin has maintained a friendship with his church and attended various conferences and special meetings there — most recently in June, when the governor spoke at a ministry graduation service. “Whether I influenced Sarah, I don’t know,” Kalnins said, adding that Palin seeks God on her own. Amen!

“She and her family were a part of our church until 2002,” he said. “From 2002, she went to another church … called Wasilla Bible.” He said he doesn’t know why the Palin family made that change and said it’s easy for the press to distort views expressed in a religious sermon if they are taken out of context. Where have we heard this before. It’s almost becoming a strategy that anyone wanting to run for political office sometime in the future should never attend church!

“You can take any kind of a sermon … without an introduction and without a conclusion and say that this guy is weird.” Peter Feldman, a spokesman for the McCain-Palin ticket, said he didn’t have any information he could provide about Palin’s ties to, or history with, the Wasilla Assembly of God Church. That should add to the “poor vetting” attack that the Democrats are promoting.

Records show that that Palin was baptized as an infant in the Catholic Church, was a member of a Christian athletes fellowship in high school and, during the last seven years, she and her family have attended a nondenominational evangelical church in Wasilla. I can’t wait for the next shoe to drop.

Psst. Who’s your spiritual guide? Forgetdaboutdit, if you’re not running for office.
