Black
Clergy Wary
of Obama
Some believe Christians are Voting for Obama on
Emotional Grounds, rather than Issues
 An article issued by ANI,
claims that Democratic Party presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama
is losing the support of black pastors who believe that black
Christians are voting for him on emotional grounds, instead of his
stand on issues affecting American life. Ben Kinchlow, a former co-host
for the Christian Broadcasting Network and author of the new book,
“Black Yellowdog,” said many black church goers
unthinkingly support the Democratic Party.
"Many black
Christians voting for Obama are doing so for emotional reasons and not
because they've studied the issues. They think Barack Obama is the
shining city on the hill; that now is the chance to move into the 21st
century without what regarding what the real issues are," the
Washington Times quoted Kinchlow, as saying.
The article says that Bishop Gilbert Coleman, pastor of the 1,000
– member Freedom Christian Fellowship in Philadelphia, said black
believers are not knowledgeable about Obama’s beliefs. He says
there are a lot of things Obama is saying that are
“uncomfortable” to Christian evangelicals.
All the pastors interviewed said they are hammering home to their congregations the consequences of their votes.
