Conservative Church Leader Confronts Jeremiah Wright
Christian Newswire ^ | April 28

Posted on 04/28/2008 6:56:26 AM PDT by Aristotelian

WASHINGTON, April 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- Conservative church leader Rev. Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) today respectfully confronted Barack Obama's long-time pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

This morning Rev. Schenck met and spoke personally to Dr. Wright before his speech to the National Press Club, warning the controversial minister about his theology.

Rev. Schenck brought an admonishment from members of the National Clergy Council executive Committee that includes prominent African American clergy.

Schenck conveyed to Wright a warning against the preacher's Marxist liberation theology, telling him it's his source of trouble and he needs to drop it.

Rev. Schenck said, "I was respectful but firm. Dr. Wright's brand of black theology places him firmly in company with violent groups who use bombs and grenades in the name of religion. His speech today did not separate him from these militant groups."

Schenck said, "I respect this man enough to tell him the truth, as he says he does to others, whether they like what he says or not. The truth is Jeremiah Wright's theology puts him in a camp of Marxist revolutionaries who use guns and grenades in the name of religion. He needs to explicitly and unequivocally denounce the violent extremists in the liberation theology movement and drop its Marxist-socialist anti-American ideology."

Rev. Schenck will be available to the media for comment immediately after today's National Press Club Breakfast featuring Sen. Barack Obama's long-time pastor, Dr. Jeremiah Wright.

Hmmmm... and Rev. Schenck didn't spend 20 years in the pews listening to Wright to figure this out?

I understand what you’re saying, but what’s bad is how many people are being led astray from serving Jesus.

I just received an email from a guy who was willing to give Wright the benefit of the doubt. After watching the Wright speech, my friend is appalled over what he heard. I wonder if this guy will be interviewed?

God bless Schenk for telling the truth.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH


"Not God Bless America, no, no, no, God Damn America!" "911 is America's chickens coming home to roost"


"AIDS was created by the US for black geneocide," "If God is not for us & against whites, then he is a murderer, and we'd best kill him."

As a side note, while reading this, I found it interesting that people can easily go from "Rev" to "Dr" when referring to Wright; yet, few can as easily go from "Condi" to a much more appropriate "Dr. Rice" when referring to our Secretary of State.

Just food for thought...

Anybody know whether this National Clergy Council is Liberal or Conservative. If it is a lib organization then this thread should get interesting.

In the clips I’ve seen of Wright, his contrived gyrations remind me of the old Gong Show and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.

Rev. Schenck lives in my town, York, PA.

We’re about 2 hours out of DC. (90 miles)

He’s organized some really good events in my area.

First know:

There's the National Council of Churches (NCC) which is totally marxist/socialist.

I did some digging on Rev Schenks' organization, seems conservative leaning to me. I don't know who was involved with founding his NCC.

Or from Bush or George or Jorge to a far more appropriate "PRESIDENT Bush"

False prophecy.
