Democrats Voted Out of Baptist Church - Yahoo! News:

"WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - Some in Pastor Chan Chandler's flock wish he had a little less zeal for the GOP. Members of the small East Waynesville Baptist Church say Chandler led an effort to kick out congregants who didn't support
President Bush. Nine members were voted out at a Monday church meeting in this mountain town, about 120 miles west of Charlotte.

'He's the kind of pastor who says do it my way or get out,' said Selma Morris, the former church treasurer. 'He's real negative all the time.'

Chandler didn't return a message left by The Associated Press at his home Friday, and several calls to the church went unanswered. He told WLOS-TV in Asheville that the actions were not politically motivated."
