Theophilus Monk’s Christian Internet Ministry

 Here is an interesting behind the scene look at the issues surrounding Barak Obama and his pastor, Jeremiah Wright. This online Christianity Today article says, “There was truth in Wright’s outing of Obama as a less-than-regular churchgoer. This is no surprise: Ask the other two candidates for proof of their Sunday attendance and you’ll see what I mean. Celebrities in general and politicians in particular might have a better (if still theologically poor) excuse than many of us for not worshiping corporately … But expect [Wright] to give as good as he gets. He’s been at this a while. He has scratched and clawed for stronger schools, better support from the city, and above all, church growth on the far South Side of Chicago. He has taught that blacks should be proud of their heritage and never ashamed — and that they should do theology as subjects rather than objects. He’s summoned altar calls and prayed for healing (there is a subterranean charismatic ministry at Trinity) and led the people’s praise of Jesus for more then three decades. He has things to teach us. And, as ever in the church, he has points that could stand rebutting. But let’s keep those points in perspective. Wright’s break with America is no unforgivable sin — only blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is that.” To read more follow this link http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/mayweb-only/119-31.0.html?start=1 .
