| Description | "PEOPLE WHO QUOTE the Bible and aren't ministers are regarded as kooks."
This was Adele Ferguson, the well-read Bremerton Sun political columnist, counseling Ellen Craswell, a veteran state legislator whose religious beliefs seemed to be overwhelming her political good sense.
The week before, Craswell had declared the state's laws were being corrupted by legislators who "don't know God's plan." Voters, she said, should ask legislative candidates whether they have a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ."
Ferguson was outraged. If Craswell could no longer represent all of her Kitsap County constituents - and it was clear she'd ceased trying - she ought to resign her state Senate seat in favor of someone with broader interests. |
