To dispell rumors that he was a Muslim, Obama said he was a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ for 15 years.
Here is a link to their web page.

Quote:
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

This church has a decidedly anti-American and racist bent.
So as a member of this church for 15 years. Obama has a "non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA"! The problem with that is that Africa is a foreign land. His commitment should be to the USA.
It's leader claimed that the U.S. government invented HIV to commit genocide against Africans. He says God damn America, and says the 911 attacks were payback for racist U.S. foreign policy.
This is the guy who Obama calls his "spiritual mentor"!
To me this church just sounds like the Xtian counterpart to Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. They preach the same hate.
And now Obama says he's been a member for 20 years when less that a year ago he said he was a member for 15 years. Which is it... 15 or 20? Why the contradiction?
