Acting chief of staff: Doral picked

for its location and amenities, and
the president will not profit because
the resort will be booked ‘at cost’
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
President Donald Trump’s
—
suggestion that his Miami
golf resort host next year’s
Group of Seven summit
became a reality Thursday,
sparking an outcry from
critics who called it the
most blatant example yet of
him using the power of his
office to boost his business
empire.
“There are folks who
will never get over the fact
that it’s a Trump proper-
ty, but we’re still going to
go there,” acting White
House chief of staff Mick
Mulvaney said in announc-
ing Trump National Doral
as host. “It’s not the only
place. It’s the best place.”
Mulvaney said the Doral
was picked for its location
and amenities, and the
president will not profit
because the resort will be
booked “at cost.” But the
decision takes Trump’s ap-
parent conflicts of interest
to a new level because, un-
like foreign dignitaries who
can choose to stay at his
Washington hotel, they will
have no choice but to spend
money at his resort during
the June 10-12 summit.
“He is doubling down on
his corruption,” said eth-
ics lawyer Kathleen Clark
of Washington University
School of Law in St. Lou-
is. “He’s daring anyone to
prevent him from further
enriching himself from the
presidency.”
The decision comes as
several lawsuits accuse
Trump of violating the
Constitution’s emoluments
clause, which bans the pres-
ident from receiving gifts
or payments from foreign
governments. It also comes
as Trump has repeatedly
accused Joe Biden’s fami-
ly of profiting from public
office because of Hunter
Biden’s business activities
in Ukraine when his father
was vice president.
Mulvaney brushed off
such concerns, as well as
the idea that the summit
at Trump’s Doral course
would be nothing more
than a massive promotion
for his brand.
“Donald Trump’s brand
is strong as it is,” Mulvaney
said. “It’s the most recog-
nized name in the English
language.”
Trump, in Texas, bashes
Democrats as ‘crazy,’ unpatriotic
‘Don’t kid yourselves.
I really don’t believe
anymore that they love
our country.’
The Associated Press
DALLAS — President Donald
Trump tried to turn impeachment
rancor into a political rallying cry
Thursday, using a Texas rally to
bash Democrats as “crazy” and un-
patriotic as they push forward with
their investigations.
Setting a dire tone, Trump told
his supporters, “At stake in this fight
is the survival of American democra-
cy itself.”
“Don’t kid yourselves,” he said of
the Democrats, “I really don’t believe
anymore that they love our country.”
A day after House Speaker Nan-
cy Pelosi and other top Democrats
walked out of a White House meet-
ing that had devolved into an in-
sult-fest, Trump denounced her as
“crazy Nancy.”
“She’s nuts,” he told the crowd at
a packed stadium in Dallas.
The comments come as the
House continues its quickly unfold-
ing inquiry into Trump’s dealings
with Ukraine, deposing witness after
White House: Ukraine aid held up
in part over election probe
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House acknowledged that President
Donald Trump’s decision to hold up military aid to Ukraine was linked
to his demand that Kyiv investigate the Democratic National Commit-
tee and the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, a shifting new explanation
about events at the heart of the impeachment inquiry.
The Thursday admission from acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney
undercut the president’s position that there was no quid pro quo during
Trump’s phone call with the Ukraine president that sparked the House
investigation.
The sudden turn of events had immediate fallout. Trump’s lawyer
distanced the president from Mulvaney’s account. The Justice Depart-
ment said the explanation was news to them. And Democrats cast Mul-
vaney’s remarks as further evidence of wrongdoing as Trump sought a
“favor” from Ukraine.

Met by protest, Ole Miss leader says he respects free speech

‘We’re a campus of free expression, and I
respect that. Obviously, this is not the way I
would have liked to have come in.’
University of Mississippi Chancellor Glenn Boyce
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
and JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON —
The University
of Mississippi’s
new leader said
Thursday that
he respects the
“free expression”
of students and
faculty who con- Boyce
tinue protesting the way a state
board shortened its own search
process in hiring him.
Chancellor Glenn Boyce be-
gan working Monday on the
main Ole Miss campus in Ox-
ford, and protesters marched
to demand his resignation. The
student senate voted this week
to condemn a lack of transpar-
ency in the search process.
Boyce spoke briefly to The
Associated Press after he left
an Institutions of Higher Learn-
ing board meeting Thursday in
Jackson. Asked about his first
days on the job, Boyce said:
“We’re a campus of free expres-
sion, and I respect that. Obvi-
ously, this is not the way I would
have liked to have come in.”
“But,” he said, “I’m more ex-
cited about the future. I’m more
excited about where the uni-
versity’s going, what we are to-
day, the achievements of today,
where we’re headed tomorrow.”
He said he will meet peo-
ple individually and in small
groups.
“I’ll be highly visible,” Boyce
said. “I’ll be supportive of stu-
dents. I’ll be at their events. I’ll
get to know my students.”
Boyce is a former IHL com-
missioner and was paid $87,000
by a university foundation to in-
terview influential people about
what qualities they wanted in
a chancellor. He was hired de-
spite not applying for the job.
Campus police canceled the
Oct. 4 news conference where
the IHL board was supposed
to announce its hiring of Boyce
because protesters were chant-
ing and holding signs. An offi-
cer picked up a student protest-
er and removed her from the
room .
More than 30 armed Capitol
Police and Mississippi Highway
Patrol officers were outside
the board meeting Thursday
in Jackson, where trustees met
in closed session for more than
two hours. When the session
ended, board president Hal
Parker left through a back door.
Reporters followed him, but
Parker would not answer ques-
tions about whether the board
had discussed Boyce’s salary or
other matters related to Boyce’s
hiring.
IHL spokesman Caron Blan-
ton said later that the board
took no action on Boyce’s sala-
ry Thursday. The trustees also
issued a statement Thursday
night saying they had heard
public concerns about the way
Boyce was hired.
“We will review our search
process to determine ways
that it can be improved,” the
board statement said. “It is un-
fortunate that the process has
reflected negatively on the be-
ginning of Dr. Boyce’s tenure,
but we look forward to Ole Miss
thriving under his leadership.”
Minutes from the Oct. 2
and 3 board meeting show that
trustees voted to hire Boyce at
a total salary of $800,000, split
between state money and a sup-
plement from the University of
Mississippi Foundation.
AP obtained an email that
was sent by Foundation CEO
Wendell Weakley to board
members. It shows the foun-
dation is considering a request
from Higher Education Com-
missioner Al Rankins and trust-
ees to fund $500,000 of Boyce’s
salary. Historically, foundations
have paid no more than half of
a university leader’s salary, so
that, as Weakley put it, the lead-
er wouldn’t appear more be-
holden to a foundation than the
university itself. That changed
this year when trustees gave
Mississippi State Universi-
ty President Mark Keenum a
$200,000 raise to $800,000 a
year, with MSU’s foundation
increasing its contribution from
$300,000 to $500,000.

Letters to the editor

In response to Dillon letter
First let me make a disclaimer. My
letters are written because I have a real
concern for our city. I have brought up
things that I thought needed address-
ing. But, they are my opinions only
based on what I have observed. If you
think the city is running like a fine oiled
machine, well I will beg to differ. The
facts are, I have a lot of support for my
letters from other citizens of Columbus.
I checked the Amphitheater on Oct.
16 and if the mud, silt and debris has
been removed it was removed after 12
p.m. I will say, the grass had been cut
and new graffiti has been installed.
Spending $123,000 and change for elec-
trical repairs on a site that is subject
to flooding is not a good stewardship
of our tax dollars. Several months ago
a check was cut for an estimate on the
site. Error in accounts payable was the
explanation. Will the electrical work
be bid out? I hope the city has good
flood insurance on the Amphitheater.
Now the new fire dept: Mr. Dillon, the
city is saving $1,000,000 on a projected
$600,000 project as J5 project manager
was quoted in 2015. The new station
was free with money left over?
The $100,000 street light survey was
to be paid if we, the city didn’t use The
Path Company. It doesn’t take a rocket
scientist to figure who will get the job. I
don’t know what Mr. Dillon was refer-
ring to about the millage increase. All I
said was, it is to pay the debt down. Did
I misunderstand? Hey, Joe I went to Lee
High years ago. Now doing my part as a
citizen, many times when there is flood-
ing in my neighborhood I have been out
in wader boots clearing my ditches out
because the Public Works Department
has not done their job. I, along with
my neighbors keep our neighborhood
picked up. We’re doing our part, I just
want the city to do theirs. I guess my
letter about drainage will have to wait
again.
God Bless Columbus and America.

Comments on Thursday news
Wow. Another blockbuster day of
news.
Among other things, the U.S. — and
the Kurds — lost big to Russia and
Turkey, who now have greatly strength-
ened footholds in the Middle East while
ours is weakened. The President called
it “a great day for the Kurds.... a great
day for civilization.” I wonder if the
Kurds agree as they are forced to give
up northern Syria, the homeland they
so briefly held. They had little to say in
this negotiation, while Turkish dictator
Erdogan got his strip of northern Syria
and the likely eventual lifting of all U.S.
sanctions - a wrist slap at best. Mean-
while, 300,000 people are instantly
displaced, and we look like a bad bet as
allies.
Also, White House chief of staff,
Mick Mulvaney, stated in a press
conference that the money for military
aid to Ukraine was held up until they
complied with White House requests
for assistance with corruption investi-
gations. When asked by a reporter to
clarify that this was, in fact, a quid pro
quo, Mulvaney said, “We do this all the
time,” and “Get over it.” Oh? Well, no,
this actually is not normal at all, which
is why Mulvaney tried hard to walk the
statement back later. This, by the way,
after the President has repeatedly said
“NO quid pro quo,” for the past 2 weeks.
Wait? What?!
Mulvaney also announced, amid
all the other news, that the next G-7
meeting will be held at President
Trump’s Doral golf/resort in Miami.
Seven, possibly eight, countries writing
checks to a Trump-owned resort. We
are told that Doral is “the perfect place”
although we don’t know what other
sites were considered. Mulvaney said
that the President absolutely will not
profit from it, but did not explain how
this could possibly be so. The publicity
alone ought to be worth millions.
And I’m leaving out about six other
monumentally shocking things that
happened yesterday.
In that context, I read Dale Nelson’s
letter to The Dispatch that afternoon.
Nelson was responding to a previous
letter attacking the administration’s re-
fusal to comply with congressional com-
mittee subpoenas as part of the ongoing
impeachment inquiry. Nelson objected
to the seeming lack of rules for such
inquiry in defense of the administra-
tion’s response but made no comment
about whether or not the investigation
was warranted. I could point to 200 plus
years of legal precedence for Congress’
powers to subpoena, but that’s not my
main concern right now.
What I want to know from Mr. Nel-
son are how he could possibly find this
President’s actions within the law and
in the best interests of our country —
not what he thinks about the technicali-
ties of congressional procedure.

Our view

Bargain Leigh Mall

bid will hopefully
mean improvement
In the 1950s, CBS television offered view-
ers one of the first game shows, “The $64,00
Question,” where contestants answered
trivia questions for prize money.
Today in Columbus, we have The $3.5
Million Question and there’s nothing trivial
about it
Tuesday afternoon, a winning bid of $3.5
million was submitted in an online auction
for the purchase of Leigh Mall.
Beyond that, few details are known. We
know virtually nothing of the new owner
nor what the owner intends to do with the
property. It may be weeks before the sale is
closed and we learn even that basic informa-
tion.
That said, there are a few things we do
know. First and foremost, the property did
attract a buyer. That in itself, represents
good news, especially since it was unclear
if the auction would attract a bid that would
meet the auction’s minimum sale price. By
mid-afternoon, the bidding hovered around
the $2 million mark for a property whose es-
timated value, according to Lowndes County
tax assessor Greg Andrews, ranged from $12
million to $18 million.
The auction was extended by about a half
hour as new bids begin to emerge for the
property that covers 30 acres with 300,000
square feet of existing retail space.
The sale itself can be viewed optimisti-
cally. The prospects of the property failing
to attract an acceptable bid is not something
anyone would want to contemplate.
At the sale price, the new owner seems
to be getting a good deal: a rate of return
of roughly 16 percent based on financials
provided by the real estate broker. Without
knowing the buyer, the amount of capital
the buyer may plan to invest or the buyer’s
overall plans for the mall, much is left to
speculation. Even so, it’s not unreasonable to
believe that the low sale price may actually
be a positive in the sense that it could mean
the buyer has more money to invest in the
property.
As it is, the mall is in serious need of re-
pairs and maintenance. Its massive parking
lot has long been in a state of disrepair, so
bad that three years ago the city felt the need
to approach the former owner and insist on
repairs.
It is reasonable to expect that the property
will be improved as a result of this sale, al-
though the time line for those improvements
is anybody’s guess.
We are eager to know what the new owner
has in mind, and hope the plans are ambi-
tious and implemented quickly.
Since it opened in 1973, Leigh Mall has
been the face of our retail development, for
better at first, and here lately, for worse.
The buyer’s success in revitalizing this
important part of our retail community is
something that touches every citizen.
Thursday’s auction was a big step in that
process.
We eagerly await the answers to our $3.5
Million Question.

Elizabeth Warren is not honest
If you want to run for
office, political consul-
tants will hammer away
at one point: Tell stories.
People respond to stories.
We’ve been a storytelling
species since our fur-
clad ancestors gathered
around campfires. Don’t
cite statistics. No one
can remember statistics.
Make it human. Make
it relatable. Lincoln told Mona Charen
stories. FDR told stories.
Reagan told stories.
Watching the Democrats’ fourth
debate Tuesday night, you could see
the candidates implementing this
advice. They’d mention Joe Blow in
their state who said X, or Jane Blow
who called their office with Y prob-
lem. They commonly use techniques of them. They all had great health
like: “The voters I speak to aren’t
preoccupied with the elite concerns
of Washington or New York. The vot- needed it, when the costs went up,
ers I speak to are concerned about...” that the insurance company pulled
and then the candidate fills in the
policy he or she is touting.
That’s OK, as far as it goes, but
politics by anecdote should have
some limits, because, as a wag once
said, “The plural of anecdote is not
data.” Relying on anecdotes alone is
how you get the anti-vaccine move-
ment and other dangerous delusions. you get the diagnosis and the insur-
“I knew a little boy who was totally
normal and chatty until he got the
MMR shot and then he became
autistic.” That’s tragic, but the data
show that across large populations,
there is no link between vaccines
and autism. On the contrary, vac-
cines are a key public health benefit.
Politicians owe it to us to ensure
that when they use examples, they
are using them to illustrate larger
truths, not to mislead.
Elizabeth Warren fails this test.
For someone who touts herself as
a scholar, she resorts to
anecdotes in a most disin-
genuous fashion.
At the last debate,
for example, asked to
account for the cost of her
“plan” to adopt “Medicare
for All,” which would
eliminate the private
coverage enjoyed by an
estimated 150 million
Americans, Warren prof-
fered stories:
“So I have talked with
the family, the mom and dad whose
daughter’s been diagnosed with
cancer. I have talked to the young
woman whose mother has just been
diagnosed with diabetes. I’ve talked
to the young man who has MS.
“And here’s the thing about all
insurance right at the beginning. But
then they found out when they really
the rug out from underneath them
and they were left with nothing.”
Later, after asserting that only the
wealthy and corporations would see
their taxes go up under her plan, she
cited the same anecdote: “And I will
not embrace a plan that says people
have great insurance right up until
ance company says, ‘Sorry, we’re
not covering your expensive cancer
treatments; we’re not covering your
expensive treatments for MS.’”
Is there a widespread practice
of insurance companies rescinding
coverage when people get serious
illnesses? There are only two studies
of the problem dating back to the
early 2000s. One by the House
Oversight and Investigations Com-
mittee found that three companies
had rescinded 20,000 policies over
the course of five years — some-
times for fraud but in some cases
for trivial reasons. All were policies
purchased on the individual market,
not through employers. Another
study, by the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners, found
that between 2004 and 2008, some
27,000 policies were rescinded out of
6.7 million individual plans surveyed.
That translates to less than one-half
of 1 percent of policies.
Does that mean it wasn’t a prob-
lem? Not necessarily. Doubtless
there were injustices — serious ones
— when people found themselves
facing a medical crisis and had their
insurance canceled. But there’s a
reason that all of the data on this
practice of rescission (which insur-
ance companies claimed was fraud
prevention) predate 2010. The Af-
fordable Care Act, aka Obamacare,
explicitly outlawed it. As Healthcare.
gov explains: “Under the Affordable
Care Act, rescission is illegal except
in cases of fraud or intentional
misrepresentation of material fact as
prohibited by the terms of the plan or
coverage.”
Warren surely knows this, and
thus, her tales of people’s insurance
being withdrawn when they get sick
are not illustrative examples of a
serious problem; they are dishonest
efforts to build a case for eliminating
private health coverage. Elizabeth
Warren, like Bernie Sanders, is an
ideologue, enamored of government
regulation of everything. Most
Americans do not share her disdain
for private health coverage. Eighty
percent rate the quality of their care
as excellent or good, and 69% rate
their personal coverage the same
way.
They deserve leaders who will not
attempt to mislead them.

(18-25, 25-16, 22-25, 25-

a reminder of his days as a
defensive back at Nebras-
ka in the early 1970s.
An Amory native and
the father of Louisiana
State quarterback and
Heisman Trophy hope-
ful Joe Burrow, Jimmy
has been coming to Bill’s
since his youth. As a
high schooler, he used to
spend his lunch breaks
at the local pants factory
grabbing bags of burgers
for he and his coworkers
to munch on during their
brief respites.
“I could eat six of
these,” he says through a
chuckle.
Though it’s been more
than 20 years since Jim-
my spent extended time
in his hometown, it’s foot-
ball that has brought him
back. Saturday, his young-
est son will line up under
center as No. 2-ranked
LSU heads to Starkville
for a meeting with Missis-
sippi State.
And while the Tigers’
trip is the reason for the
Burrows’ homecoming,
the week is also a chance
for Jimmy, Joe and the
rest of the family to visit
the place that still proudly
bears their roots.
“My dad grew up a
Mississippi State fan,”
Joe said during his Mon-
day media availability. “I
had a little cowbell in my
room growing up because
he would go to the games.
So I know a little bit about
them.”
The roots
Jimmy motions toward
the back room. Sitting
down at a four-top, he sets
down his styrofoam cup
filled with Diet Coke and
begins to recount his fam-
ily’s Mississippi history
— a task that lasts nearly
30 minutes.
His parents, Dot and
James (Joe’s grandpar-
ents), both attended
nearby Smithville High
School. Star athletes in
their own right, James
played basketball at Mis-
sissippi State between
1948 and 1952, while Dot
— two grades his junior
— was a prep standout on
the hardwood.
Pulling up an old news-
paper clipping on his cell
phone, Jimmy offers evi-
dence of his mother’s dy-
namism.
A sophomore at MSU
during the 1950 season,
James had long raved
about his future wife’s on-
court exploits — though
not to much avail.
“I kept going back and
telling my teammates she
scored 50, 55 points,” he
recalled.
While his teammates
took his tales lightly,
James invited six of his
basketball buddies to tag
along for one of Dot’s
games at Hamilton High
School.
As the Bulldogs looked
on, she personally torched
the Lions for 72 points.
Word quickly spread.
Everyone in the MSU
locker room wanted to
catch a glimpse of Smith-
ville’s scoring machine.
With a game at Cale-
donia on the docket, Bur-
row, the entire Bulldog
basketball team headed
to the contest.
Once more, Dot lit up
the score sheet — notch-
ing 82 points on the night.
The Reflector — MSU’s
student newspaper — lat-
er ran a story regarding
the occasion.
“One night in high
school I scored 45 and
I came home and I was
feeling pretty good about
myself,” Jimmy said. “And
my mom said ‘You’ve only
got 37 more to get my
high score.’”

see his grandparents. It’s
also an opportunity to put
down a few of the burgers.
“I’ve pulled up right
there at 6:30 in the morn-
ing to get hamburgers to
take him in Baton Rouge,”
Jimmy quips.
As the meal wraps up,
Jimmy hands the cashier

“To play a team like that
and to play them the way
we did and sweep them was
amazing,” Caledonia coach
Samantha Brooks said.
Both coach Brooks and
her daughter, senior outside
hitter Tori Brooks, agreed
that Corinth closely re-
sembled the ’Feds — both
teams are consistent playoff
squads, and both have seven
seniors on the roster — so
such a dominating win gives
Caledonia nothing but confi-
dence going forward.
That confidence was on
display from the very start
Thursday, with nearly every
’Feds point punctuated by
a shout of exultation and a
gesture of celebration.
At few moments was

Hansen finished off the
first set with a kill, putting
an official end to a Corinth
comeback that cut a sev-
en-point lead to two at 22-20.
But Hansen and Tori Brooks
alternated kills before Han-
sen put an emphatic end to
the set.
“Whenever we win a
close set, we figure out that
we can’t play sluggish, that
we have to step up and real-
ly put it away,” Tori Brooks
said.
The ’Feds did that excel-
lently, winning the first four
points of the second set and
forcing Corinth to call time-
out. Caledonia proceeded to
win the next point to make
it 5-0.
“Whenever we get up,
we just keep going,” Tori
Brooks said.
The ’Feds never trailed
by more than four points the
rest of the set, cruising to a
25-11 win thanks to a pletho-
ra of miscues by the visiting
Warriors: missed serves,
mishits and miscommuni-
cation.
“I don’t know if it was
the traveling or the nerves,”
coach Brooks said. “They
seemed to not play togeth-
er as well as I thought they
would have.”
She said she understood
why Corinth might be prone
to a bad performance under
the pressure of the playoffs.
“There’s a lot at stake,”
Brooks said. “It was some-
body’s last game tonight.”
When the ’Feds won the
first four points of the third
set, it became pretty clear
that it was far from Caledo-
nia’s last match. Tori Brooks

Tori Brooks credited the

“We knew their weak-

Being able to put the

She stressed that Cale-

play Thursday was a total
team effort — not just from

from its juniors, too. Hansen

particularly well.
“Everybody that got play-

they’re too busy just doing what
comes naturally.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A
secret is a powerful thing that,
like all powerful things, has an
impact. Keep it to yourself with
a sparkle in your eye and its
impact is charismatic. Keep it
to yourself with shame and its
impact is a gravitational pull on
your spirit.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). Instead of trying to force
yourself to be nicer, find more
reasons to be cheerful. And
when you succumb to negativity,
you’ll find reasons to be there,
too.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Get in the mix however you can
— as a volunteer, an intern or
just as an unqualified person
doing a job for free. Even if you
mess up a lot, you’ll be better
off than you would be paying for
a class or experience.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Focus your attention on
the one area of your life that, if
changed, would favorably touch
every other area of your life.
Tonight will be a particularly
fantastic time for introspection
and planning.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You know what you want,
and you’ve already committed,
but when it’s time to actually
put this in motion, your brain will
object with the most interest-
ing excuses. Don’t give it the
chance. Act first; think later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). A sentimental mood makes
the passage of time a little
blurry. And, if so inclined, you’ll
find that you can move fluidly to

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Though you feel it’s not as
important to air your feelings
as it is to reconcile them within
yourself, much will depend on
your company. Only your nearest
and dearest will get the full
picture and even then, only in
small doses.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Repairs will be necessary.
Don’t waste time with amateurs
including yourself. Likely, this is
beyond your scope of expertise,
and you probably don’t have the
tools to do it the right way. Use
the best professional you can
afford.

Share of Americans with no
religious affiliation growing
65 percent of adults now describe
themselves as Christian, down from
77 percent in 2009
By DAVID CRARY
AP National Writer
The portion of Ameri-
cans with no religious affil-
iation is rising significant-
ly, in tandem with a sharp
drop in the percentage that
identifies as Christians, ac-
cording to new data from
the Pew Research Center.
Based on telephone sur-
veys conducted in 2018 and
2019, Pew said Thursday
that 65 percent of Amer-
ican adults now describe
themselves as Christian,
down from 77 percent in
2009. Meanwhile, the por-
tion that describes their
religious identity as athe-
ist, agnostic or “nothing in
particular,” now stands at
26 percent, up from 17 per-
cent in 2009.
Both Protestant and
Roman Catholic ranks are
losing population share,
according to Pew. It said 43
percent of U.S. adults iden-
tify as Protestants, down
from 51 percent in 2009,
while 20 percent are Cath-
olic, down from 23 percent
in 2009.
Pew says all categories
of the religiously unaffil-
iated population — often
referred to as the “nones”
grew in magnitude.
Self-described atheists
now account for 4 percent
of U.S. adults, up from 2
percent in 2009; agnostics
account for 5 percent, up
from 3 percent a decade
ago; and 17 percent of
Americans now describe
their religion as “nothing
in particular,” up from 12
percent in 2009.
The report comes at a
challenging time for many
major denominations in the
U.S. The two largest — the
Catholic church and the
Southern Baptist Conven-
tion — are beset by clergy
sex-abuse scandals. The
1162 Mayhew Rd., hosts its
31st Annual Choir Day pro-
gram at 2 p.m. Oct. 20. The
public is invited to attend.
Men’s Conference

Conference at 6 p.m. Oct. 25,
with guest speaker Pastor
Quincy Patterson of Gospel

Oct. 26, with guest speaker

Town Creek in West Point;
and 2 p.m. Oct. 27, with guest

The public is invited to attend.
