Female pastor leads to controversy among Georgia Baptists

By LOUISE CHU ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

ROME, Ga., Sept. 25 - Katrina Brooks always felt a calling from God but 
wasn't sure how to fulfill it. A Baptist, Brooks spent years as a hospital 
chaplain and assisting her husband in his ministerial duties, but never felt 
completely satisfied in those roles. It wasn't until she was in her late 30s 
that she realized she wanted to lead a congregation.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer

 

USA - POMONA, Calif. -- The eyes of the gurgitators were knives, fixed on the 
paper plates in front of them. Guts growled. Mouths stretched. Cameras 
rolled. The time was 7:30 Wednesday night, the site the Los Angeles County 
Fairgrounds, the contest the eight-minute Winchell's World Donut Eating 
Championship................. Shortly after 7:30 p.m., the countdown began -- 
"10, 9, 8 ..." -- and the slurping, drooling, sucking and swallowing 
commenced. "Ewwww, gross!" screamed a delighted kid.
