Unfortunately it is pretty sloppy reporting. For example, the article says:
“For decades, the Prayer Breakfast, … has drawn lawmakers, ministers and the state’s top officials ”
But it doesn’t say how often the governor as attended, which would be useful to know when the current governor’s office says he didn’t know he was expected to attend.
Further there is no evidence it was specifically Barton that drove the governor away. For example, from the article:
“Mendenhall says he was unaware of any controversy associated with Barton.”
Any group that doesn’t realize Barton is controversial is probably a little to the right of reality, which suggests there are probably other things about this group that might have driven the governor away.

…presumably bipartisan and unifying like a prayer breakfast.

Thanks for the laugh!

These “prayer breakfasts” seem nothing more than the religious equivalent of business “power lunches.” I suppose that comes with the incorporation of religion into megachurches and political action committees.

Though it is very vague, I still love it.
