Re: Obama Addresses Racial "Anger"
This is all very interesting. I have listened to Obama explain his relationship with Pastor Wright. He has condemned the statements that have been made, while at the same time acknowledging the very important impact this man's ministry over several years has had on shaping his life. I get the impression that some of you would think more highly of Obama if he had totally denounced the man rather than his statements and thus shown disloyalty to someone who has had a profound positive impact upon thousands of lives in the Chicago area where he has ministered.
I certainly would not want anyone to judge my 35 years of ministry by a few statements I made when I was quite angry at the UPC, although I'm sure there probably are some who do just that.
How many have heard preachers make extreme statements that they found to be bigoted and offensive, yet did not leave their church or the organization they represented?
