Reply #71: I know he is Methodist, but he is an extremely fundamentalist methodist [View All]

who has more in common w/the SB then the majority of the Methodist church...

there is a split occuring w/in the Methodist church right now..between the traditionally liberal methodist and a splinter group of fundamentalist methodist churches...and anyway Bush isn't *really* methodist..

*Bush was raised in the Episcopal Church of his father, former President George H.W. Bush, but joined the Methodist church of his wife, first lady Laura Bush, when they married.

According to Aikman, Bush showed little interest in Christianity until he went through "a reawakening of faith" between 1984 and 1986.

Much of that reawakening came when Bush stopped drinking and joined an evangelical men's Bible study group in Texas. That fellowship was much more conservative than the Methodist and Episcopal churches and took a more literal approach to Scripture.* http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/09/12/MNGM98NOFC1.DTL

(I have heard the bible study group was part of the Promise Keepers)
