I sat down yesterday and actually watched one of Reverend Wright’s recent speeches (the one he recently gave at the National Press Club) in its entirety. So many things were being said about this man that I thought “wow he must be completely wacked out of his mind.” So I prepared myself for all sorts of craziness as I started to watch. What I heard though was an articulate explanation of black liberation theology, a thoughtful interaction with the ethnic and religious plurality that exists here in America, and a biographical report of the many good things that Trinity Church has done over the years. At many points in the speech I was greatly moved, encouraged and challenged.
