Concerns in the Black Church about the White House Office of Faith Based Initiative and Neighborhood Partnerships

A contributor to the Black Women's Roundtable asks:

Despite President Obama’s incredible national and global popularity, Black Church leaders may do well to ask a critical question. Will President Obama’s Faith Based Office seek to silence outspoken Black Church leaders through the enticement of social service grants? Or, will the President fund high quality service programs of even those Black clergy leaders who may at times disagree publicly with policy positions of his Administration.
