“Republican Senator James Inhofe in a rare GOP appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show, last night labeled as “hysterical” international concern over the Uganda “Kill The Gays” bill, while claiming he has never even heard of the three-year old bill and claiming he has never heard of the bill’s sponsor, MP David Bahati, one of the most powerful and the best-known Ugandan lawmakers. Senator Inhofe boasts that he has traveled to Africa, and primarily, to Uganda, almost two dozen times, and met with lawmakers and religious leaders there. A well-respected investigative journalist and popular author who has written two books on the topic says Inhofe is “lying.”

Of course, it seems that Bahati is now saying that members of the Fellowship were very keen on the Bill, or something like it. Of course, an organization can have an ‘official position’ on something, while individuals in that organization can go somewhat ‘off piste’.

@ David Blakeselee : Yes, we are very much ‘back to Lively’ now, aren’t we!

My previous comment was prompted by Rachel Maddow’s interview with a Senator from Oklahoma today where she brought up this issue with him. I wanted to email this link to her but I couldn’t seem to find an email address to send it to. Please forgive my non capital G in God above .

Some 52 years ago Doug Coe and i were towing some logs for fence rails to Malibu in Princess Louisa Inlet B.C. Canada. I was not quite eighteen years old. I was hired by the Young Life staff to help out in maintenance there for the camps that came in the summer. I was not a Christian, just a local boy with local knowledge. When I saw young first year college kids come on a work camp I was blown away by their freshness and enthusiasm. As might be said in a 12 Step group I wanted what they had and began to pray on my own. it was not long after that that god through Dan Mcbee put Doug in that little boat travelling down the Inlet. We got talking and I told him of my prayers. He said you prob’ly are a Christian. I always remembered he pronounced it that way not probably. This was very affirming to me. Life has not been without some deep valleys for me bit I have never forgotten that time when Doug was so kind to me and helped me in my acceptance of Christ into my life. Blessings to him and all of you. In the pictures I have pictures seen he hasn’t really change a lot from that time.
