And <A HREF="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-campaign30apr30,0,2298507.story" REL="nofollow">here's an article</A> quoting a black pastor who, while disagreeing with some of Wright's decisions, calls him a friend and has invited him to preach at his own church.<BR/><BR/>So Wright is much more embraced by "mainstream" black denominations and a part of the black tradition than the Thernstroms' argument about demographics would have you believe.Coffeepastorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15077957635136271689noreply@blogger.com
