Obama Won't Pick New Church for Now
Sunday, June 22, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama is taking a break from church until after the
presidential election.
Campaign staffers told the New York Post that Obama will visit
different houses of wor****p while he campaigns, ending 20 years of
attending regular Sunday services. After the election, he will decide
on a more permanent church for himself and his family.
Sources told the Post that by doing so, Obama will be able to avoid a
scandal similar to the controversy that erupted over his relation****p
with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose racially charged sermons
triggered a firestorm of criticism.
Obama is a member of the Protestant United Church of Christ, and there
are five such churches near the White House. The UCC's national
leader****p is trying to keep Obama in in the fold, said Doug Clark,
pastor of the First Congregational UCC church in Wa****ngton, D.C.
