Nothing wrong here. Wright is allowing the church to help him reject middleclassness in favor of upperclassness.

Looks like racism pays off pretty well when perpetrated with impunity by the right person in the right place at the right time.

Wright is simply accepting the living standard of his parishoner, Barack Obama.

You know... I’ve spent a LOT of time over on the TUCC website the last 2 days (reading through a TON of bulletins, etc...). It’s so sad that the type of things taught in this church are so incredibly political, biased, etc... Because the abundance of community services offered by this church is just staggering. I can see why so many would attend this church and why so many in the community would defend Wright and this church no matter what they are saying in their services. Indeed, this church is an incredible example of what can be done through faith-based organizations instead of government for a community in need. Again, how incredibly sad that Rev. Wright would use the pulpit to blaspheme our Lord and teach his brand of hate... And, now this?!? Well, I guess some would say he “deserves” it after all the years he spent helping the community. I still see it as definitely hypocritical... What a JERK this man is...

Looks to me like the Rev has been dipping freely and frequently into the offering plate!

My grandfather was a UCC pastor. His retirement home was a 900 sq ft, 2br cabin outside Indian River, Mich.

The sad thing is that I have his written sermon notes dating back into the 1930's. I find scant evidence that he was a Christian... A brilliant man, with a vocabulary that allowed him to solve the Sunday Crossword Puzzle in under an hour, but mute on the Gospel of Jesus Christ in his weekly messages at the local 1st Congregational Church

Don’t tell me that Rezko was in on this one too. Some slum lord!! Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Good enough for “some” in the flock and all that happy horse p**p.

And just what is the $10 mil line of credit for that was mentioned in the documents Fox found? Anybody? How is THIS serving the poor community?

Well $1.6 million for 10,340 sqft is $155 a sqft not including the land.

That’s pretty unlikely these days.

My bet is it will cost much, much more.
