I think the point is that it was not “The First Caucasian Church of Christ”

There is major hypocrisy in the description “African American Baptist Church”

The National Baptist Convention churches have always been predominately black.

No hypocrisy involved. The NBC goes back to civil war era, and always been predominately black.

No sane white person would ever want to want to walk into that circus.

Hey, after Tedward Kennedy got buried in Arlington National Cemetery, there’s no such thing as standards any more.

My thought too. Hearing the word of God on Easter can’t be a bad thing.

Methinks you are unfairly misquoting the reverend, who seems to have been the one who remembered their purpose there.

You're reading way too much into that.

My fix was an interpretation by me of the real reason many were in the church to begin with..

No, because in reality it is probably a "church", if ya know what I mean...

Shiloh Baptist Church, Washington, DC

http://www.shilohbaptist.org/

See the 2nd tab-

“Spiritual/Worship”

If you look at the link it says only http://www.shilohbaptist.org/worship.htm

Wonder if they added the Spiritual for Obozo’s visit?

Read the Pastor’s letter about Obozo’s presence at their Easter Service here:

Very nice letter. Only mentioned the Obamas in passing & that they are prayed for.

Rev. Franklin Graham today:

And despite considering Obama to be a “nice man,” Graham also suggests that even if Obama considers himself to be a Christian because he goes to Church, “a membership [alone] doesn’t make you a Christian.”

“a membership [alone] doesn’t make you a Christian.”

Excellent point! I lived that lie for many years until the real Truth finally hit me, Glory be to God!

If its a real Baptist Church, I hope our president actually hears the gospel.
