Among these groups are a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, a Jewish rabbi active in Washington and a ground-breaking female African-American bishop. The office is to be headed by Joshua DuBois, a 26 year old Pentecostal minister who headed religious outreach for the Obama campaign.
