Hey, all power to them, they have a right to do this, I'm sure they're not the only bunch of elective officials sharing grounds with religious overtones, they're not doing any harm, just some good prayer services and companionship around fellow Christians

I think that all members of congress and their families should be given officers' housing (roughly the equivalent of someone of the rank of colonel) at a military base near Washington D.C.. Transportation to and from the Capitol should also be provided. That, plus their salaries and pensions, would provide for a reasonably nice lifestyle.

Anyone whose net worth increased significantly over the period of their national service would be subject to a serious frisk.

Of course, I also believe, in the interest of upgrading the average I.Q. of Congress, that our representatives should be chosen at random from the telephone book.

Why is it creepy? This would be like any group of Christians intentionally getting together to share rent on a house for purposes of furthering their own fellowship and growth in Christ. What's creepy about that? The Fellowship that owns the townhouse is probably a 501c3 religious organization, so they are not in this to make money (i.e., gouge their tenants). In fact, this organization has, if I'm not mistaken, been providing housing like this for members of Congress for well over 20 years. At least it's bipartisan. I think it's a positive thing.

Few in the Fellowship are willing to talk about its mission.

I can understand this too. Unbelievers get all bent out of shape when Christians are overt and vocal about their faith, and then think it's suspicious when Christians choose to keep their faith personal and private.

The only thing that's "creepy" here is the anti-religious bigotry in the tone of the article and in your own tone.

Really?? And what about the creepy baby killers who congregate at Hillary's house. Do they have ritual sacrificing?

And what about fey lobbies that conregate with Barney Franks? Shall we guess what they do on their nights off?
