The UCC fights back.


The United Church of Christ, the parent organization to the Trinity United Church of Christ, released a press statement defending Rev. Wright.  Here's a quote:

"Trinity United Church of Christ is a great gift to our wider church family and to its own community in Chicago," says UCC General Minister and President John H. Thomas. "At a time when it is being subjected to caricature and attack in the media, it is critical that all of us express our gratitude and support to this remarkable congregation, to Jeremiah A. Wright for his leadership over 36 years, and to Pastor Otis Moss III, as he assumes leadership at Trinity."

Thomas says he has been saddened by news reports that "present such a caricature of a congregation that been such a great blessing."

"These attacks, many of them motivated by their own partisan agenda, cannot go unchallenged," Thomas emphasizes. "It's time for all of us to say 'No' to these attacks and to declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends."

And are these leaders of the UCC just a bunch of angry anti-white racists?  They don't look like it to me:

The media loves to report this "bovine droppings." Many of the reporters fail to get the denomination correct - which should indicate that the "news" is not that well researched.

The one video that the media shows time after time was Christmas time. My my - makes one wonder why it is new news!?
