Christian Fellowship

Well, it looks like if you're Christian politician, you can get a whizbang of a room rate in Washington.

For the cost of a one night stay at a cushy D.C. hotel ($600), you can have a room in a tony boarding house for an entire month.

The three-story townhouse is "maintained by a secretive religious organization known alternately as the 'Fellowship' or the 'Foundation.' The stately, red-brick house located two blocks from the Capitol is owned by the C Street Center, a sister organization of the 'Fellowship.'"

However, the tenants of the rooming house remain "tightlipped" about their living arrangements, and no word yet on who shares a room.

The article cites six of the eight roomies as Reps. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.); Jim DeMint (R-S.C.;) Mike Doyle (D-Pa.); Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.); Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.); and Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tenn.). One former tenant is Rep. Steve Largent (R-Okla.). "Wamp said two other members of Congress lived there, but declined to identify them."

"Few current and former lawmakers who have lived in the C Street house want to comment on the arrangement."

The buildings owners, and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, had no comment.

"When one resident leaves, the remaining members choose a replacement with whom they are comfortable, he [Wamp] said."
