Kim Lawton: Obama Faith Meeting

On Tuesday June 10, 2008, Barack Obama met with about 40 Christians leaders in a nearly three-hour private gathering in Chicago. RELIGION & ETHICS NEWSWEEKLY managing editor Kim Lawton has learned more about what happened in the meeting and who was there. She describes the conversation and the kinds of questions asked by some of the evangelical, Roman Catholic, and mainline Protestant leaders who were there, including megachurch pastor T.D. Jakes, evangelist Franklin Graham, Charisma magazine publisher Steve Strang, and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson

Sorry, you need the latest version of the free flash player in order to watch the video clips.

that was not very informative at all. I get better info from the papers. You didn't mention any of the real issues with the meeting or how the African American clergy were not pleased with the meeting at all. In fact you only mention TD Jakes, yeah he represents most Black Churches, NOT.

Judith Stevens said:

How dare a representative of the people meet with religious leaders behind closed doors. Promising them our tax dollars, power, and agenda?

What is it about Obama that he doesn't know about Separation of Church and State...the Constitution? Lawlessness abounds.
