You are seeing what you want to see.
So much so you failed to look at the link I posted. Because if you did you would see it for yourself.
BTW
The site lists 12 points not 10.
Read the link and while reading switch the word black with white.
Point 11:
"Pledge Allegiance to All Black Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the Black Value System."
A church asking allegiance.
Not to God, Not to your country, but to your race.  |
I think YOU need to read your link properly. For the record, here is the
10 POINT VISION
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a
10-point Vision:
- A congregation committed to ADORATION.
- A congregation preaching SALVATION.
- A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
- A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
- A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
- A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
- A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
- A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
- A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
- A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.
Now, with all due respect, please point out which one of these 10 points is anti-american or causing you concern. All I read are 10 points of which some can be classified as black empowerment.
Given the 10 point vision of the church, I'm having a hard time trying to understand why the elders of the church did not bring Wright back into line. There are a number of points parts of his sermons clearly violated.
