At Trinity United Church of Christ on the South Side, where President-elect Barack Obama embraced Christianity, the congregation rejoiced Sunday and shouted, "Yes, We did!"
Rev. Otis Moss III said history would note that Trinity was the sacred place where "a young man's soul was stirred and put on the path to the presidency."
"You have much to be proud of this morning," he said. "We can rejoice today"
Trinity came under attack after sermons of former pastor Jeremiah Wright were played on the Internet that showed him saying "God damn America." Moss said the media had used the church as a political pawn and with the election of Obama, Moss said "we exhaled this morning."
