compiled by Dr. Bill Martin
(As of February, 2001, this listing provides information for over 90% of the legislators; the remaining names appear under "unknown."  The data were taken originally from Who is Who in the Oklahoma Legislature for 1993-94 (the last edition strongly to encourage inclusion of this information), a study prepared by David Craighead about two years later, and the fact sheets on senators at the Oklahoma legislature home page. This information has been supplemented by e-mail communication. [The sheets for representatives do not seem to include religious affiliation.] Additional information and corrections should be sent to Dr. Bill Martin )

Rep. Mike Wilt, R, Bartlesville, Dist. 11 (557-7358)
Rep. Ray Young, R,Yukon, Dist. 43 (557-7352)

(It is probable, I believe, that in Oklahoma white legislators who list themselves as "Baptist" are in churches that are related to the Southern Baptist Convention. There may, however, be a few other kinds of Baptists included.)

BAPTIST, OTHER

Rep. Bill Mitchell, D, Lindsay, Dist. 42 (557-7365) (Missionary Baptist) (RULES C.)

Rep. John Sullivan, R, Tulsa,  Dist. 71  (557-7361) (RULES COMMITTEE).
Rep. Joe Sweeden,  D, Pawhuska, Dist. 36  (557-7322) (Immaculate Conception).

CHRISTIAN, POSSIBLY DISCIPLES OF CHRIST
Rep. Jari Askins, D, Duncan, Dist. 50 (557-7327)
Rep. Kenneth Corn, D, Howe, Dist. 3 (557-7413)

Rep. Mike O'Neal, R, Enid, Dist. 40 (557-7317)
Rep. Dale Wells, D, Cushing, Dist. 33 (556-7304)

(Representatives Askins and Corn are definitely Disciples of Christ. Legislators who list themselves as "Christian" have been included here, so it is possible that one or more used the term in a broad sense or referred to a church not identified as Disciples of Christ. I think this may be the case with Sen. Williamson, who shows "Christian" on the current Senate fact sheet; earlier was listed as "Grace Fellowship Christian.")

CHURCH OF CHRIST

Sen. Dick Wilkerson, D, Atwood, Dist. 13 (521-5541)
Rep. Robert D. Worthen, R, OKC, Dist. 87 (557-7335)

(It is highly probable that a legislator who gives "Methodist" as religious preference is United Methodist. A Free Methodist or someone from another Methodist group may have been included, however.)
