The Gamaliel Foundation was founded in Chicago in 1968 to assist the Contract Buyers League, which worked to assist African-American home buyers in the citys West Side. Gamaliel was reoriented to focus on community organizing when Gregory Galluzzo was hired as executive director in 1986. Seeing its basic function as training and developing leaders in low-income communities, Gamaliels goal is to assist local community leaders to create, maintain and expand independent, grassroots, and powerful faith-based community organizations that have the power to influence political and economic decisions that impact cities and regions. The name Gamaliel refers to the Biblical wise man who was a teacher to St. Paul (see Acts 5:38-39; and Acts 22:3), whom Saul Alinsky considered to be the first great congregation-based organizer.
Gamaliel Foundation works in the community organizing tradition of Alinsky, who began his work in Chicago with the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council in 1939. Following Alinskys death in 1972, his Industrial Areas Foundation, under executive director Edward T. Chambers, moved toward a congregation-based organizing model, emphasizing training and leadership development. Gamaliel has developed along a similar path under the direction of Galluzzo, a former Roman Catholic priest who got his introduction to community organizing in the early 1970s in Chicago, where he worked with the Pilsen Neighborhood Community Council, mentored by such organizers as Tom Gaudette and John Baumann (the founder of PICO National Network).
Here is a video of the Gamaliel Foundation PRAYING to Barack Obama:

I’m sure some are saying “God”.
However, riddle me this: Shouldn’t it be impossible to believe that ANYONE would pray to obama?
There some posters are making the good point that if one closes his eyes and just listens to the video, it sounds much more like the flock is saying "Oh G-d," rather than "Obama." I did think I heard some "Obama," but mostly it was "Oh G-d," to my ears.

Exp: the children’s CULT song to Obama. The cult mentality is there & BHO is not only responsible, he built his campaign on it -— depending on his ability to create this Cult of Personality.
Oh. My. Gawwwd...ooops!
Oh. My. Obama.
These people are insane.
I listened 4-5 times. At least some of them are saying OBAMA.
Great ping - thanks LucyT.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse...it does.
The LORD thy GOD of Israel is the only true and only God of this universe
I just saw this on Conservative Black Woman’s blog. This is truly frightening. It’s worse than the golden calf. I dare say worse than Stalin/Mao/Kim.
