Here is a clip from
this article, a collection of recent letters from UCC leaders, which talks about Rev. Wright's preaching style - what some classify as "racist":
|| Trinity Church is located in the heart of Chicago's impoverished Southside, and has developed, under Pastor Wright's leadership, a vast array of ministries including career development and college placement, tutorial and computer services, health care and support groups, domestic violence programs, pastoral care and counseling, bereavement services, drug and alcohol recovery programs, a prison ministry, financial counseling and a credit union, housing and economic development, dozens of choral, instrumental and dance groups, and diverse programming for all ages, including youth and senior citizens.
The south side of Chicago is a huge area of deep poverty, where people are afflicted by tremendous despair and the habits of despair: violence, drug use, and depression. Jeremiah Wright emphasizes self-respect in his ministry, replacing shame and degradation with self-worth, in race, heritage, and ability. The very things black people have been taught to think of as the root of their misery, Jeremiah Wright teaches them are their God-given assets. Jesus also taught this, to the afflicted, the rejected and despised. ||
A good read for all. Enjoy.
