White House Faith Office to Expand February 5, 2009,
Mr. Obama told an audience in Ohio last summer, "You can't use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help and you can't discriminate against them."
Joshua DuBois, a 26-year-old Pentecostal minister who led religious outreach for Mr. Obama during the presidential race, will direct the new White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Mr. DuBois said in an interview, "The president is still very much committed to clear constitutionality and legality in this program. He's committed to nondiscrimination."
