Obamas’ church search still on

How’s this for a quick turnaround: Yesterday the Religion and Values blog reported that President Barack Obama might have found a church home — Evergreen Chapel at the Camp churchDavid presidential retreat in Maryland.

Time magazine had reported this information online Monday and Christianity Today’s politics blog also featured commentary about the possibility that the Obamas’ church search was over.

Well, a McClatchy Tribune Information Services story by Peter Nicholas and Mark Silva with the Tribune Washington Bureau is reporting that Time got it wrong.

 ”The president and first family continue to look for a church home,” White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said in the Tribune Washington Bureau story. “They have enjoyed worshipping at Camp David and several other congregations over the months, and will choose a church at the time that is best for their family.”

Search is still on.
