Just weeks after publicity over his controversial sermons rocked Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright will preach three guest sermons at Houston's Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.

Wright, who until February was minister of Obama's church, Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, will preach Sunday, March 30.

Wheeler pastor, the Rev. Marcus Cosby, could not be reached for comment Friday.

A spokesman for the church said Wright, who has offered sermons at Wheeler annually for the past 15 years, had been scheduled as part of the church's regular speaker's program.

He’d fit in better at Phred Phelp’s Westburo Baptist Church.

I am sure that most of his audience will be from New Orleans!

Wheeler Avenue Baptist “Church” is the Black political center of gravity in Houston; the lynch pin for such esteemed Congresscritters such as Sheila Jackson Lee!

They also service as a rally point for Democrats campaigning in the ‘hood.

Wright’s church demonstrates how the Muslins have made great progress in prostelying Blacks. REAL Christians in America have their work set out for them to christianize these type of “churches” and their sick addicts of victimology.

I'm going to dig the dirt on this Cosby Clown because he too is listed as an Obama spiritual adviser. I'm sure there's some lovely “sermons” that come out of the church.

And, prolly, they're not all "Christian" (if that word can still be used post-Wright)...

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

I think you’ll find more of an orthodox faith from him than from Wright.
