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.

MCCain said to STOP picking on Rev Wright, he says you are racists for dwelling on this subject

I thought it was “Out of touch with reality.” ??? Or is that just for Conservatives?
Come November, we are sooooo screwed.
This guy is setting himself up to be Pope of the black people. He is also trying to seperate, even further, the black and white people of this country. He actually believes that black christians are better than white christians. He would not address how he feels about Islam this morning also.
There was a discussion yesterday on how the commies, aka as the left by those more civilized than I, with no small number of "conservatives", have systematically de-legitimized President Bush for the past 7 years.
Referring to him as "Dubya" or "W" are exceptions, as they are usually used as a term of endearment rather than a lack of respect for the man or the office. ;*)
I think it's a sure thing. He loves an audience. Bigger is better. He will take advantage of this attention to shock as many as possible.
He thinks Obama has screwed him so Obama won't be able to stop him.
DingDingDing *** WARNING-WARNING *** DongDongDong
We should all know how he "feels" about islam by now.
Let all those with ears, HEAR and all those with eyes, SEE!
And for the love of God ... WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
I do not know who your friend is, and; that does not matter.
Let me state that any real combat veteran, and most every veteran I know, would never support the pure BS spouted by the biggest fool of all fools. That fool is Wright himself and every member of racist church.
Those who hate America, can take a plane, boat,car, or any means of transportation to leave it. I am darn sick and tired of these jerks claiming special status and preaching Marxism.
I wish the days of the commie trials were still here. Wright would be at the top of the list.
If I run into a single Veteran who buys Mr. Wrong’s BS, they will hear my reply.
Mr Wright is Mr Wrong. He is a total BS artist. What a disgusting man.
Benedict Arnold did serve. So did Jimmy Carter and Al Gore. Doesn't mean their brains were better for the experience.
Good post!
I may not have been clear enough. I am hoping Rev. Schenck will be interviewed.
My friend is very conservative but never served in the military. He has been working and not following politics lately, which is why he wrote with the comment. His final statement was that Wright was as bad as Hannity portrayed him to be, if not worse.
bump
Thanks.
Wright didn't pick a good day to come out of th eNation of Islam closet, did he?
But the head of the United Church of Christ thinks Reve. Wright’s message is perfectly acceptable...
McCain is not my candidate.
I hope some conservative decides to run in this election as an Independent, we would vote for him.
LS. At least Arnold saw combat. Yet, both he and Rev. Wrong are traitors.
Please be specific. If you do not mind me asking- are a Tennessee teacher?
Oops! Just noticed your post.
After reading a plethera of articles, seems my response was almost trite.
I meant that Rev. Wright deflected criticism of him by giving it racist overtones.
While some of his critics may indeed be racist, I don’t believe that most of them are. I sincerely hope not.
By golly, I guess he doesn’t speak for all ‘black churches!’
