We all have our crosses to bear. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has become Barack Obama's.
I'm sorry, but I've had it with Wright. I would never try to diminish the service he performed as pastor of his Chicago megachurch, and it's obvious that he's a man of great charisma and faith. But this media tour he's conducting is doing a disservice that goes beyond any impact it might have on Obama's presidential campaign.
The problem is that Wright insists on being seen as something he's not: an archetypal representative of the African American church. In fact, he represents one twig of one branch of a very large tree.
And despite how hard the UCC's national office tries to support Wright, I suspect that most UCC members are rightfully embarrassed by him. His antics at the Press Club made him look like the court jester, not a prophet "speaking truth to power".
Apparently Robinson's not the only one.

You must have a different copy of the transcript.
ReplyDeleteThe one I have does show "a prophet "speaking truth to power"."
A "prophet" speaking "truth to power"? You must be joking. Maybe Satan's truth. This man is no Christian. Rev. Wright's rantings are frighteningly familiar to the hate being spewed by radical Islam.
ReplyDeleteI am still scratching my head in wonder about why Obama didn't leave Trinity, or admonish Wright. Maybe he believes him.
