Obama met
Trinity United Church of Christ pastor
Jeremiah Wright in October 1987 and became a member of Trinity in 1992. During Obama's first presidential campaign in May 2008, he resigned from Trinity after
some of Wright's statements were criticized. Since moving to Washington, D.C., in 2009, the Obama family has attended several Protestant churches, including
Shiloh Baptist Church and
St. John's Episcopal Church, as well as Evergreen Chapel at
Camp David, but the members of the family do not attend church on a regular basis.
