Unpredictable election night test of faith for Sanford Bishop

ALBANY, Ga. — On Sunday afternoon, Congressman Sanford Bishop was at Evangelical Faith Ministries in Albany, his final stop on an election-season tour of more than 30 mostly black churches in the final weeks of a bitterly fought contest to keep his seat in the U.S. House.
Bishop had been to the church before — many times.
He asked Apostle Felix Revills to anoint him with oil.
Revills obliged, as his father Apostle Isaiah Revills did 18 years earlier when Bishop first won a seat in congress.

ALBANY, Ga.
At 11 p.m. Tuesday night, Congressman Sanford Bishop's 18 years in the U.S. House appeared to be over.
At 1:15, he was declaring victory.
It was the political roller-coaster ride of a lifetime for a career politician left for dead in a Republican onslaught.
