A different perspective on the Gov. Perry "Prayerpalooza" event.
Advertisements [?]
I just finished reading the follow-up story by the Houston Press' reporter (Craig Hlavaty) sent to the event. In the original story, he's half critical, half positive about it, and most of the 50+ comments missed the positive parts. In his follow-up piece, he admits to being a believer and manages to find even more positive aspects to the event. So, despite how it was promoted and subsequently denigrated here and elsewhere, there were still positive things about it. The Houston Press sent the right person to cover it and he knows how to report.

Here's the follow-up story for y'all to make up your own minds. I was mostly impressed with Craig's ability to find the good stuff in an event that most either ignored or had only jeers directed at it. I figure, too, that this forum is better suited to seeing the whole picture without (much) negative reaction, unlike if I had posted to the Texas forum or GD ;)
