Bluefield, W.Va.
If you’re Christian in Bluefield – and most everyone is, in this small city tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains – you have your choice.
You can follow Pastor Doyle Bradford of Father’s House International Church, who has forcefully backed former President Donald Trump – doubting Mr. Trump’s defeat in November and joining some congregants at the Jan. 6 “Save America” rally that degenerated into the Capitol riot.
Or you can go less than three miles away next to the rail yard, to Faith Center Church, where Pastor Frederick Brown regards Mr. Bradford as a brother – but says he’s seriously mistaken. Or you can venture up East River Mountain to Crossroads Church, where Pastor Travis Lowe eschews Mr. Bradford’s fiery political rhetoric, seeking paths to Christian unity.
