the mud is starting to sling regarding obama. i saw something on the cnn or maybe a local news report discussiong this church and the pastor. because of his 'radical' thinking obama's relationship with the church could potentially be an issue.
because obama is so close in the races in texas and ohio, i think he more than likely will be the democratic candidate. he may have a hard time with mccain with the republican party and alot of on the fence voters.

One this is for sure that Rev. Otis plays it a lot safer when it comes to political issues. I dont think he is as "radical" as Jeremiah but they share the same idealogies when it comes to keep the church very Afro-centric. This marks a new era in the legacy of TUCC and I think you will see a small decline in the membership only because some folks follow the preacher more than the word.
