Clinton quotes Bible from black church pulpit

(AP) - Senator Hillary Clinton says one of her favorite Bible verses teaches that "we cannot just be hearers of the word; we must be doers."

The Democratic presidential hopeful spoke Sunday morning from the pulpit of the Northminster Presbyterian Church USA in Columbia, South Carolina.

Clinton told the predominantly black congregation, "Faith without works is dead." But she added, "I know from long experience that works without faith is just too hard."

She delivered the same message recently at the Reverend Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in California.

Clinton and Democratic rival Barack Obama both have courted black Christians as they compete for the large black Democratic vote in South Carolina's January 26th Democratic primary.
