This is Obama's church..... http://www.tucc.org/home.htm

This is is their 10 point vision...... http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

Quote:
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
While it may sound raciphobic... there is no way in Hell I am voting for a person who's "church" has those points as their "vision".

Excuse me???? What about a non negotiable commitment to the people in our OWN country????? I guess that's like Oprah giving millions to African schools but nothing to our own....

I'm sorry but this isn't what my country is, at least to me. These "visions" from this "church" do not bring this nation together but it divides us even more.

There is no way in Hell I am voting for a man that goes to a church that wants to divide my country further and promotes a race ancestory and foreign continent over my own country.

You want all this for Africa, go to Africa and do it. Bring my country back to greatness, bring my country's people closer, teach race, ancestory and culture do not matter.

I recommend everyone investigate this "church" and see what it truly stands for and what Obama truly believes.

This is as far from the true teachings of Christ as Pat Robertson's gang is.

And I wouldn't vote for Pat either.

(BTW... this is not to disparage the United Church of Christ (UCC) as a whole it is a very good denomination filled withe IMHO some of the truest and best Christians out there.... the Church Obama belongs to the one above... IMHO is UCC in name only.)
