Hes a member of the American Baptist church, not at all to be confused with the Southern Baptists for example. The AB have been moving to the left since the 1970s, have a significant number of black congregations, and are a member of the National Council of Churches. Such an article is not at all surprising coming from that background. BTW, Ive heard similar arguments from a number of pastors here in Alabama. Usually pastors of inner city black congregations. Some have almost claimed that it is a sin not to vote for tax increases. (On the rich of course.) What you say may well be true, however, it has been my experience with majority of Baptists I know they are born and bred democrats. From the most educated, doctors lawyers down to the stand in line welfare recipients. Has nothing to do with location or a particular race. These people bought whole hog that President Bush is an unscrupulous politician who went to war over oil and only pushed a tax cut for his 'rich' brethren. Oh and he was handicapped because he is not well spoken.
