Pentecost

• Palin visits the independent Christian churches; Church
on the Rock, Juneau Christian Centre and the Wasilla bible
Church.
 
• Palin once stated that "Nobody is going to convince me
that my foundation of faith is not good for me and for my family
no matter the mocking, no matter what any body says about it, I'm
going to keep plugging away at this and I'm going to keep seeking
God's guidance and His wisdom and His favor and His grace, for
me, for my family, for this campaign, for our nation."?

• She was the leader of her neighborhood Fellowship of
Christian Athletes group during her high school years.

• Her expressions of faith can be understood from her
pro-life stance and her Christian faith which prevented her from
aborting her fifth pregnancy despite the fact that the tests
revealed that the child would be born with Down's syndrome. She
says that they are blessed to be chosen by God to look after this
special baby.

• Her Christian faith comes from her mother who used to
make her children visit the area Bible churches during their
adolescent years.

• When questioned what religion she was by Time Magazine,
Sarah replied, "Christian" and when asked whether she was any
particular type of Christian she answered "No, Bible believing
Christian."
		

• Barack Obama is a member of United Church of Christ.

• Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, who was brought up
as a Baptist, were most recently members of the Trinity United
Church of Christ in Chicago. This Church holds close the black
liberation theology and its importance on authorizing groups
exploited by establishment forces.

• Barack Obama had been a active member in this church for
twenty years.  This is where he was married and his children were
baptized. 

• In 2008, Barack and Michelle Obama resigned their
membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The
resignation followed offensive comments by Rev. Michael Pfleger
and Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

• Daniel Pipes stated that Obama was brought up as a
Muslim because he attended Koran classes in 4th grade at a Muslim
school in Jakarta, Indonesia. CNN stated that even though he did
study in a Muslim school for a couple of years, it was a non
religious public school attended by people of different
religions. 

• Obama states that he was brought up in a non religious
atmosphere. His father was an atheist and his mother was one of
the most spiritually awakened persons that he's ever known.
According to Obama, "Religion for her was just one of the many
ways ? and not necessarily the best way ? that man attempted to
control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our
lives."

• Obama proclaims that he is a Christian in all ways. He
stressed that when he was being sworn into office, he had put his
hands on the family bible and when he is in the United States
senate, he pledges allegiance to the flag of USA.

• Obama's paternal grandfather was a Muslim, and he did
attend a Muslum school in Indonesia. He uses these aspects to
tell us that he will be able to handle foreign policy better and
to bring in a new face to parts of the world where USA is not
well liked.
