For the United Church of Christ, a graying, Cleveland-based denomination that has lost more than 40 percent of its members since the 1960s, Sen. Barack Obama is a godsend.

Church leaders expect more people to come knocking on UCC doors as their most widely known member raises awareness of the denomination through his Democratic presidential campaign.

Oh great.

Church officials, eh? Are they the same as elders? If so, since when do they rely on man (Obama) instead of God to lead sinners to Church?

Oh, my bad.

They don't lead sinners to God at this church. It's a "social" gospel instead of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that they are spewing out.
