You may have heard the controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s pastor. This pastor has said some things that many in this country find to be outrageous. I would include myself in that camp.

You can watch this news story to learn a little bit more about the situation. FYI, in one section my Menonite readers might be offended….I was.

But I also have to wonder what would happen if a person in my church were to run for office. Would it be right for the media to scrutinize some of my “outrageous” ideas, like that salvation can only come through Jesus Christ?

What do you think? Is a candidate’s pastor, no matter how on the fringe, an acceptable object of scrutiny?

FYI, the clip was found at Presidential Election Videos.
