Obama's Sanctuary. Inside the church where Presidents pray in peace

摘要

For the past five months, white House aides and friends of the Obamas have been quietly visiting Washington-area churches and vetting the sermons of local ministers in search of a new-and uncontroversial-church home for the First Family. The President even sampled a few himself, showing up for services at 19th Street Baptist Church on the weekend before his Inauguration and celebrating Easter at St. John's Episcopal Church. But in the midst of the church search, Barack Obama has found an unexpected place to bow his head. He and his family have chosen to worship most often not at a bustling urban church but at a rustic chapel in the Catoctin Mountains at Camp David, a 75-minute drive from Washington.
