Wright not "soul" leader of black church

Excerpts - the rest here:

CNSNews.com) - Black clergymen are among those criticizing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for saying that attacks on him are really attacks on the black church. The pastors say it is Wright's politics, not his race or religion, that has caused so much controversy.

"It appears he's made his career pandering to a certain constituency and it appears his chickens have come home to roost," said Bishop Council Nedd of the diocese of the Chesapeake, Episcopal Missionary Church in Harrisburg, Pa. "As clergymen, we have a mandate to preach the gospel from the pulpit, the good news of Jesus Christ. When you start preaching politics, it will lead to trouble."

Perhaps you'll recall that Jeremiah Wright used the "America's chickens have come home to roost" in one of his sermons -- I believe in reference to 9/11 or terrorism in general -- I'm not sure, look it up if you're curious.

Then, this guy (below) starts making plenty of sense -- so I looked up a bit about him -- I'm no longer impressed -- but on this point, he's absolutely right (i.e. agrees with me.)

Kenneth Hutcherson, senior pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Seattle, said Wright misrepresented himself by claiming that attacks on him are attacks on the black church.

"I didn't know Reverend Jeremiah Wright was the sole representative of the black church," Hutcherson told Cybercast News Service . "He was attacked for what he said, not because he represents the black church. And if he does represent the black church, he should be attacked."

Hutcherson added that he thinks African-Americans can learn something from what Wright has said. "I don't think black people as a whole will ever be free until they truly give thanks for America, not curse it," Hutcherson said.

Sounds great Kenneth.

But, uh, what's with the anti-gay wacktivism?
