"Sen. Barack Obama's historic
speech earlier this month in Philadelphia on race relations has
elevated the discussion about the issue to the point where it has
worked itself into the pews and pulpits of Bay Area churches.
Local ministers say they gave sermons about it on Easter, the
holiest day of the year for Christians, and others plan to do so in the
future.
These ministers - Pentecostals, Episcopalians and Baptists,
Republican and Democrat, white, black and Asian - say Obama's honesty
offers a steppingstone to wade into the volatile waters of race
relations."
