This Wednesday Study: “A More Perfect Union” Senator Obama on Faith & Race

On March 26th, at 7:00 pm, Limestone Presbyterian Church in Wilmington invites you to watch Senator Obama’s speech on faith and race and then discuss it. A national newspaper reported that “Groups Respond to Obama’s Call for National Discussion About Race,” No matter what your party affiliation or your political persuasion, the conversations about race that have been elicited by the campaign are important.
