The following line seems off: "Beck was baptized by his old friend and Pat Gray." It seems like "and" should be removed?

The article cited says "In 1999, Pat Gray baptized his old friend a Mormon in an emotional ceremony." AtomicSpottedLanternfly (talk) 19:04, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Changed to just Pat Gray. The previous paragraph already describes him as a friend and former coworker. --Onorem (talk) 21:23, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

i don't think the shows of these people would count as a suitable sources for a Wikipedia biography of a living person. It seems more like the writer is trying to build up a case against Glenn Beck. 2607:FEA8:FF01:4FA6:2111:4E09:C43B:F9E5 (talk) 19:58, 15 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
