Honor and Glory to God Requires More of Obama
Contact: Gary McCullough, publicist, 202-546-0054;
Reverend Rob Schenck, The National Clergy Council and Faith and Action
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rev. Rob Schenck, (pronounced
SHANK) president of the National Clergy Council and Faith and Action, released
this statement today following Barack Obama's announcement of his candidacy for
president of the United States:
"Barack Obama began his presidential campaign today with the words, 'All
honor and glory to God.'
"While all Christians should welcome the public acknowledgment of God
by a serious presidential contender, such a bold pronouncement and infusion of
Christian faith into his campaign will require much of Mr. Obama.
"Jesus Christ said by what measure we judge others, we will be judged.
By injecting his faith so directly into his campaign, Mr. Obama has invited an
examination and debate focused on his faith. Sadly, we will find Mr. Obama's Christianity
woefully deficient."
Sarasota, Florida Media Availability: Sunday, February 11, Mr. Schenck will
comment on Barack Obama's and other candidacies in his sermon as guest preacher
at the Fellowship of Believers Church, 3333 12th Street, Sarasota, FL 34237. He
will be available for interviews following the 10 AM service. Church telephone
number is 941-957-3333
