OBAMA'S PASTOR, REV WRIGHT, TOLD THE NEW YORK TIMES in an interview published in March "WHEN HIS (OBAMA) ENEMIES FIND OUT THAT IN 1984 HE WENT TO TRIPOLI WITH THE NATION OF ISLAM LEADERI Louis Farrakhan TO VISIT LIBYAN LEADER MOAMMAR GADHAFI,"a lot of HIS JEWISH SUPPORT WILL DRY UP quicker than a snowball in hell."
The roughly 8,000-member church has often championed liberal causes, gay rights to opposition to the Iraq war. It also EMPHASSIZES ITS AFRICAN ROOTS and asks parishioners to accept the "Black Value System," which includes tenets such as "COMMITMENT TO THE BLACK FAMILY, "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian."
The son of a white mother from Kansas, who was skeptical of organized religion, and a Kenyan father, OBAMA was raised in a secular household. He spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, where he ATTEMDED a Catholic school and A PUBLIC SCHOOL WHERE HE TOOK ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS CLASSES.
He added that he was drawn to ACTIVIST CHURCHES churches....
Trinity's critics, though, say it emphasizes black causes to a fault.
Fran Eaton, who writes for the conservative blog Illinois Review, singled out Trinity's 12-point value system, which includes a commitment to "PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO ALL BLACK LEADERSHIP WHO ESPOUSE AND EMBRACE THE BLACK VALUE SYSTEM." I would feel uncomfortable with a church that used the word 'white' instead of 'black' when it talked about these things," she said. "It seems to me we are going backward if we're basing our churches and the help they give on skin color."
