On June 23, 2007, Senator Barack Obama addressed the 50th Anniversary General Synod of the United Church of Christ (UCC). Obama is a longtime member of Trinity UCC in Chicago. In a letter dated February 20, 2008, the IRS notified the UCC of an official inquiry into whether Obama's address was a violation of tax regulations that could jeopardize the denomination's tax-exempt status. UCC officials deny any improper activity. In these excerpts from the speech, Obama describes his personal spiritual journey and his view of how faith should play a part in public life.

This man is truely fantastic! And, it's easy to see why: What he says comes from the heart and soul; from true conviction. America needs this man because, if anybody can, he will lead us out of this dismal and seemingly hopeless mess we have been drug into, by the present administration and, sadly, by some American citizens who have been so caught up in their own self-interest, they have believed that they could enrich themselves at the expense of other citizens of Planet Earth, both foreign and domestic.
Wake up, America!
