Obama's Church Hunkers Down

New security rules have been established at the Trinity United Church, former home of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and historical center of worship for presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Visitors approaching church entrances are immediately greeted by signs on the glass doors directing members of the news media to sign in at the front desk. More signs warn: "NO CAMERA & NO RECORDING DEVICES."

Reporters, who have attended the church every Sunday for the past month, according to Media Coordinator/Deacon Donna Hammond-Miller, are chaperoned.

Notepads are not allowed in the 2,700-seat sanctuary. Interviews with members cannot be conducted on church property. . . .

I'm guessing that Trinity United Church has some secrets.
