The Kansas CW | Shouting Match Over Church's Obama Sign
Member Center:
by Alana Rocha and Chris Durden (WICHITA, Kan.)
A sign at a Wichita church leads to a shouting match between church members and supporters of President-elect Barack Obama.
The sign outside Spirit One Christian Center, 1515 E Harry St, reads "America We Have A Muslim President. This Is Sin Against The Lord." The church stands by the sign even though Obama is a Christian.
The controversy over the sign led to a heated argument outside the church Sunday morning with both sides shouting at each other.
Spirit One is not stranger to controversy. In 2007, the IRS threatened to revoke the church's tax exempt status because of other messages on the marquee, e-mails and web postings about politicians and issues. The church defended its actions as free speech.
