Interesting letter which a friend forwarded to me. Given that it is Holy Week, it is less a political insight than it is one of Christian Ministry. I have left out a few names and addresses - I simply deemed they weren't necessary.

Anyone who has built a congregation from 87 members to some 8000 and whose congregation has modeled ministries to one of the poorest areas of Chicago has provided a body of work that speaks for itself

Is that all that matters? The number of folowers? Look at the number of followers Hitler had in his hey-dey -- or Mao Tse Tung. Jesus warned us all to beware of false prophets.

The letter speaks of Wright’s love for his congregation. Perhaps, but a love built on hate isn’t much good, in my opinion.

Those clips represent .0000012 of his total preaching at Trinity,

If those quotes were out of character should we assume Rev. Wright was drunk.... or on drugs?

seen generations come and grow

Pity the young souls who have been led astray.

If Wright regrets his words, where are his apologies?

Put yourself in the study at Trinity and look out on a city of African American people stretching for miles in nearly every direction, and juxtapose those texts for Easter Sunday and find your voice in the context of poverty and racism and lack of education and health care.

Wright ran that Church for 35 years.

We know he has an expensive car and a mansion.

How well have his parishoners fared?
