The new White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, established on Thursday, will have a broader and more secular vision than it did under George W. Bush.
Feb. 6, 2009 --- President Barack Obama signed an executive order Thursday establishing the new White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Though Obama appointed former Pentecostal minister Joshua DuBois to lead it, the revamped office will, according to the White House, have a broader more secular vision than the faith-based ideas of George W. Bush --- working on behalf of "all Americans committed to improving their communities, no matter their religious or political beliefs."
