PUZZLED over the disappearance of Bibles from the members-only lounge at the House of Representatives—one was discovered secreted in a fridge—officials set up a video camera in a bid to find the culprit.
It was only then that the miscreant was unmasked. It turned out to be Arizona State Representative Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, above, a Democrat and an ordained Presbyterian minister!
Surveillance footage in March showed Stahl Hamilton removing two Bibles in minutes. One was buried in the members-only lounge chair, and another in the community refrigerator.
A week later a third went missing.
Arizona’s Family demanded answers for the lawmaker’ behaviour and Stahl Hamilton obliged with a brief statement this week, saying:
Just a little playful commentary on the separation of church and state. I am a Presbyterian minister so I obviously don’t have a problem with the Bible.

Republican Pro-Tempore Speaker Travis Grantham, above, described her behaviour in a video posted to YouTube as “sinister” and “nonsensical”.
When I’m watching that [footage], I’m thinking, ‘Well, this is obviously someone who’s got some purpose and some intent, and they know they’re doing something bad.
He pointed out that the state motto “is God enriches.”
I don’t quite understand the issue of having a Bible available for members to read.
Bibles in hotels
When I was living in the UK, one of the best jobs I ever had was being public relations officer for the long-defunct British Transport Hotel chain.
This often involved staying in the properties we owned, stretching from the far south of the country to the north of Scotland, and I would hide Gideon Bibles in cupboards or top of wardrobes.
I also fielded many calls from guests who were angered by the discovery of Bibles on their bedside tables, and finally succeeded in getting the management to remove the things from all their rooms.
However, they insisted that copies be kept at reception, and given to guests who requested them.
But the majority of hotel groups still still place Gideon Bibles in their rooms. International chain Best Western is one, saying:
If you’re ever in need of help, encouragement, or peace during your hotel stay, check out the Bible in the nightstand drawer. You may just find what you’re looking for within those pages.
Likewise, if you travel often and would like to become a part of The Gideons International ministry, contact them about membership. You could become one of the angels leaving hope and peace everywhere you go.
