BARACK TRIES NEW CHURCH

By DAPHNE RETTER, Post Wire Services

June 16, 2008

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama and his family made their traditional trip to Sunday services for Father's Day yesterday, but not at their usual church.

The presumptive Democratic nominee sat in the pews of the Apostolic Church of God on Chicago's South Side and delivered a speech urging fathers to be involved in their children's lives.

Obama told the largely black congregation that black fathers are "missing from too many lives and too many homes."

It was his first visit to a church since he quit Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ over controversial remarks made by a guest preacher there.
