Rev. Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright, To Speak At The National Press Club
I’m sure Obama is just thrilled about the additional publicity his mentor and spiritual leader of 20 years will be getting.
The Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., senior pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, will discuss the role of faith in the public square in a presentation entitled, The African American Religious Experience; Theology & Practice, at a National Press Club breakfast on April 28th.
Dr. Wright will also talk about his pastorate, his development as a theologian and teacher, and the how the issues of social justice and global inequities have shaped his faith and his fight for those who are most marginalized in society. He will address the legacy and tradition of education in his family. And Dr. Wright will put into perspective theologically, historically and politically, his ministry and public service that has been so widely discussed in the media.
Wonder if he’ll get into the issues that shaped his beliefs with regard to the American government creating HIV to exterminate black people. I’d be interested in learning more about that.
At the bottom of the page at the link above there’s an invitation to submit questions for Rev. Wright. I doubt anything the Say Anything audience could come up with would be asked, but submit anyway. Who knows. Maybe someone in the media has the stones to ask this guy a tough question.
If you submit a question, post it in the comments below.
