Clergy Still Trying to Meet With Akin Over ‘Hatred of God’ Statement
Nearly two months ago, Missouri Congressman Todd Akin raised the ire of some local pastors by saying on the Tony Perkins radio program that, “At the heart of liberalism is a hatred for God.” Today those pastors are still upset with the congressman because he hasn’t agreed to meet with them to discuss the statement.
The clergy members and Akin’s spokesman blame each other for communication breakdowns and disagree on, among other things, what– if any– media coverage should accompany a meeting.
Akin’s Spokesman Steve Taylor says the congressman has apologized and it’s time to move on.
