I would have to agree, you can't take the actions of the few and from that extrapolate an opinion or conclusions about the whole. I think that for every megachurch and superstar pastor, there are twenty smaller churches doing things differently. I think that for her to collapse all of these churches into one image is irresponsible journalism.
Secondly, while I don't necessarily believe that the church should be divorced from politics--because I am not sure how that can be done--I think that the church should be careful about seeming to support any particular candidate. I would think that most of the people at a particular church already, in some way, ascribe to the social agenda of the pastor. So for those pastors who have close ties to the GOP, their congregation probably--generally--supports those ties.
As for what the young black professional wants from a church--I can't answer that one for you.
