For Fiorina, the setting was an opportunity to discuss her own religious evolution, a narrative that will likely be central to her story on the campaign trail should she run for president, and a key to her conservative appeal.
“I think our faith is deeply personal,” Fiorina said. “There was a period of time in my life when my faith got to be kind of abstract. I prayed, but I sort of felt that God was a super CEO: He couldn’t possibly know the detail of every life.”
But Fiorina said her faith changed after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2009, and when her step-daughter Lori Ann died at age 35 during Fiorina’s Senate campaign in California.
“Jesus was with me in a very personal way,” Fiorina said. “And I think the power of our faith is that we know, we believe, we see every day that God cares about each one of us.”
