Religious leaders say questioning Obama’s faith is out of bounds
Published August 26th, 2010 by Editor in General News
Associated Baptist Press brings us news of yet another petition:

More than 70 Christian leaders signed a letter Aug. 25 calling on “public officials, faith leaders, and the media to offer no further support or airtime to those who misrepresent and call into question” whether or not President Obama is a Christian.

Signers — including Bishop T.D. Jakes, Ron Sider of Evangelicals for Social Action and Jim Wallis of Sojourners — said they were “deeply troubled by the recent questioning of President Obama’s faith.”



“We understand that these are contentious times, but the personal faith of our leaders should not be up for public debate,” they said. Several of the signers said they have personally prayed and worshiped with the president. “President Obama has been unwavering in confessing Christ as Lord and has spoken often about the importance of his Christian faith,” they said. “We believe that questioning, and especially misrepresenting, the faith of a confessing believer goes too far.”…




Besides Wallis, who is a member of the First Baptist Church of Washington, Baptist signers to the letter included

David Gushee, a Mercer University professor and Associated Baptist Press columnist;

William Shaw, president of the National Baptist Convention USA;

and DeWitt Smith, former president of the Progressive National Baptist Convention.




Other prominent signers included Sam Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Leadership Conference;

Joel Hunter, a Florida mega-church pastor who served on the president’s council on faith-based initiatives;

Michael Kinnamon, general secretary of the National Council of Churches;


and World Vision President Rich Stearns.



Authors Brian McLaren and Donald Miller also signed the statement,

as did Kirbyjon Caldwell, senior pastor at Windsor Village United Methodist Church, who has been a spiritual adviser to both Obama and his predecessor, President George W. Bush…

“We understand that these are contentious times, but the personal faith of our leaders should not be up for public debate,”

Obama Quote

Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency,"

When did public leadership become a private affair?

"As a man thinks in his heart so is he."

to believe that somehow the way one lives is more important than what one believes is a lie.
How one behaves is ultimately and directly linked to what one believes and that affects ALL of us in every area of our lives. What you believe affects your behavior and your leadership of that Country--Jesus tells us not to act inconsistent with who you really are in your heart

You will recognize them by their FRUIT"--like mikitta said.
