Not-so-terrible Ted
When I first read this yesterday, I was afraid it might be an April Fool’s joke, but it’s legit: Ted Turner, who is partnering with the Lutheran and United Methodist churches on an anti-malaria effort, has apologized for his past comments bashing religion and has even admitted to praying for ill friends. He isn’t likely to join a mainstream church just yet, and says that the faithful sometimes go too far (tell me something I don’t know), but admits that faith can be a powerful force for good.
Next time I’m in Nashville, I’ll have to stop by Ted’s Montana Grill and hoist a bison burger in his honor.
