This United C of C is independent of the former Congregationalists isn't it?

If it's not, then Wright is in league with a group that's part of COCU and which swaps ministers and communion with the Disciples of Christ (Christian) who once ordained the Reverend Jim Jones who took his congregation to Guyana to drink coolaid.

Again, I believe Wright's deal is independent and he doesn't share the money with anyone ~ particularly not those insufferable old Puritans!

The UCC was formed by a merger of the Congregational Christian Church and the Evangelical & Reformed Church (E&R) in 1957. Each individual congregation is autonomous.
The hierarchy of the UCC is very Liberal.

Jim Jones, just like Rev Jeremiah Wright was nothing more than a revolutionary Marxist who used religion to advance the cause of communism. Plain and simple.

"One of his [Rev Jim Jones] sources of inspiration was the controversial International Peace Mission movement leader Father Divine.[33] Jones had borrowed the term 'revolutionary suicide'[30] from Black Panther leader Huey Newton who had argued 'the slow suicide of life in the ghetto' ought to be replaced by revolutionary struggle that would end only in victory (socialism and self determination) or revolutionary suicide (death)."

Founding of the [Peoples] Temple:
In 1951, Jones began attending communist meetings and rallies in Indianapolis.[4] Jones became flustered at harassment he received during the McCarthy Hearings,[4] particularly, regarding meetings between Jones and his mother with Paul Robeson.[5] This, among other things, provoked a seminal moment for Jones where he asked himself "how can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."[5][4]

Jonestown's Formation And Operation

Jim Jones as portrayed in a brochure of the Peoples TempleMain article: Jonestown In the summer of 1977, Jones and most of the 900 members of the People's Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after media pressure built.[20] Jones left one night after an editor at New West magazine read Jones an article to be published by Marshall Kilduff detailing allegations by former Temple members.[20][15] Jones named the settlement Jonestown after himself.

Jones purported to establish Jonestown as a benevolent model communist community stating, "I believe we’re the purest communists there are." [21] Jones' wife, Marceline, described Jonestown as "dedicated to live for socialism, total economic and racial and social equality. We are here living communally."[21] Jones wanted to construct a model community to show others and stated that Prime Minister of Guyana Forbes Burnham "couldn’t rave enough about us, uh, the wonderful things we do, the project, the model of socialism."[22] In that regard, like the restrictive emigration policies of the then Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea and other communist republics, Jones did not permit members to leave Jonestown.[23]

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.
