ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that
promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
“You’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform
the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,” according to the insert in the
bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six
years.
Palin’s conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP
electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain’s candidacy before he named her
as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing
exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for
gay couples.
