Neon,

Thanks for posting that, I read your post as well as accessed the website.

The problem is that I still don't see much to be upset about.

It is a church that seems to have a primarily black audience and its mission statement seems to be aimed toward blacks.

Personally I would like to eliminate all racial context. But this aint my church.

Sounds like a bunch of black people trying to help black people. Don't see much wrong with that.

This just seems to re-enforce my opinion that the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. was a radical nut case in an otherwise pretty decent church.

I strongly disagree with what he said in a few of his sermons, but in the philosophy of what Voltaire may or may not have said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

In any case, I really can't find any fault with the Church's mission statements or any other statement I have read on their website.

Would I go to that church? Probably not, but that is hardly a criteria for a good church
