Obama Church Attendance

ABC News posted an article recounting Obama's lack of a church home since the infamous fallout with his hometown church of 20 years.  Personally I don't think it's a big deal.  If the President doesn't like any of the churches in D.C. it's not his fault.  In a city of politics I wonder how many of those traditional churches are rooted in biblical faith vs being tainted by their environment.

The burden of being President isolates a man and his family from American life.  Having fellowship with other believers in a town you just moved to where everyone wants your autograph or resignation can't be easy.  How do you share true confessions of the heart in a town of snakes?

In the grand scheme of things you don't have to go to church to pray, fellowship, worship or serve.  Going to church is not a determination of one's faith, just look at Michael Corleone.  I'm sure we all want Obama to have a church while serving America, but we don't need to condemn him over it.

I pray despite all the good & bad decisions Obama makes as President he is able to keep his belief in Jesus strong and walk the narrow path of truth.  

PS - Every president since James Madison has attended a service at St. Johns Episcopal, where pew 54 is designated as "The President's Pew."
