Have the Obamas found a church home?

Time magazine is reporting that President Obama has selected a church home — Evergreen Chapel at Camp David.

Since before his inauguration, people have been speculating about Obama’s eventual choice of church.

I’m sure a lot of that was due to his one-time association (a years-long association and friendship) with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago. Obama had attended Wright’s Chicago church for many years, but distanced himself from the preacher during his campaign amid controversy over Wright’s fiery speeches.

Now it seems that the First Family might have chosen a church — and it’s an unexpected choice.
