US President Barack Obama and his family made a rare public appearance at a church service Sunday at a military base near the Hawaii rental home where they are spending the Christmas and New Year's holidays. The president, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia arrived at St. Michael church on a US Marines Corps base mid-morning and settled into pews in the first row. The first family took communion and heard a Christmas-themed sermon at the service attended by about 100 worshippers. It was Obama's first public church attendance since September 19, when he went to Sunday services at a church near the White House. The question of Obama's faith has been a recurring talking point for the US public, in large part because polls show that a substantial number of Americans have the misconception that he is Muslim, despite his frequent declarations that he is Christian. Obama was born in Hawaii and attended a private school there as a youth. AFP |
