asked five random worshipers about President Obama's faith life and got this reply from 22-year-old Agnes:
Racism and religion get mixed up when it comes to President Obama. He has disclaimed the dogmatic, historic and highly political "black church." Yet he is clearly not a member of a mainstream "white church." Maybe he's a true original, refusing such a simplistic faith definition. Isn't this OK? Is there anything anti-American about it? I think he may represent the wave of the future.

St. John's Episcopal Church near the White House, being totally cracked up by the Rev. Dr. Luis Leon, the rector.
