Donald Trump’s faith?

Dear Sir,

First, our hearty thanks for all the work that goes into producing en. My wife and I hugely look forward to reading it each month.

But, with a background in teaching and writing about American politics, I was somewhat dismayed to read the item in the August edition reporting that James Dobson had said that the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is ‘a baby Christian’. The person who claims to have led Trump to Christ is ‘televangelist’ Paula White. She was the pastor of a megachurch in Tampa, Florida, which she co-founded with her then (second) husband, Randy White. The Whites divorced in 2007. Last year, Paula White married her third husband, rock musician Jonathan Cain. My first point, therefore, is this – that were your readers to know a little more about ‘the person who led Trump to Christ’, they might regard that statement in a somewhat different light.
