Is that describing his religion, his politics, or both?
Ping.
He almost sounds like a United Methodist.
The United Church of Christ has affirmed and re-affirmed since 1971 that access to safe and legal abortion is consistent with a womans right to follow the dictates of her own faith and beliefs in determining when and if she should have children, and has supported comprehensive sexuality education as one measure to prevent unwanted or unplanned pregnancies. (General Synods VIII, IX, XI, XII, XIII, XVI, XVII, and XVIII)
Nice bunch of Christians over there...
I tried years ago to go to some of the "mainstream" Protestant churchs in my community. No, not the level of politics in this letter but I was simply looking for a good homily on Jesus and the Bible. I knew that Catholic homilies were less than stellar. I discovered that the homilies in these churchs were no longer about Jesus or the Bible. In fact, I went to a Methodist service at Easter one year to be with my mother in law. Not one mention of the Resurrection or Our Lord. Wow.
Then what are they doing in this country? If they remain true to their native land then they should be making plans for going back and staying there.
Amazing
Can't tell you how surprised I'm not.
Note the above "sermon" only mentions Jesus' name once and not in a religious or biblical context. Seems fixed on the world rather than the Holy Spirit.

"We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."
If they are true to their native Africa and not the US then I must assume that they are foreigners. Wouldn't they be more happy in "the cradle of civilization"?
They show the worship service from Trinity on one of the local channels in Chicago, and I watched it a while back. I just caught most of the sermon, and it was pretty much straight politics with a veneer of religion.
So if Congress decides to put further restraints on the political involvement of churches, this one had better be at the top of their list. This one may have gone past current restraints, for all I know.
I am not for restraints, unless a church is so politically active that it's de facto a political organization, but on Sundays I like to take a break from politics. The Lord's Day, you know.
But not to worry. At least Osamabama didn't spend his formative years in an ACTUAL terrorist madrassa.
President Bush has been villified for
being Christian.
Barack Hussein Obama is a radical hating African who
is being applauded by the pop culture.
Racial Socialism.
You go to Obama's Church and you're going to find people who dislike Bush?
This looks like another job for our old friend....
Jesus! Do you realize how many of the Mainline Churches, between the Guitar Masses, the Liberation Theology, and the denial of the Divinity of Christ, are starting to find empty pews as the norm? Makes me want to go Roman Catholic.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
Sounds like a pretty racist church.
