    Howard Bess is a liberal activist

    He has been a long time liberal activist who interprets the bible in a way to suit his political views.

    This is nothing new for the people who live here. Bess is well known to clash on purpose with anyone of a conservative bent.

    He would say we should fear the election of anyone to the right of Obama who is known by his fellow democrats as the most liberal person in the US Senate.

    So if you are a "progressive", he is your pastor and this is your church...if you want to attend one.
