"Beware the terrible simplifiers"

UCC pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright, now retired from Trinity UCC in Chicago, has been the focus of much media attention of late.  Perhaps the most objective thing we can say about this maelstrom of coverage and commentary is that it has brought to the fore a myriad of perspectives regarding race relations in this country.  While it is inappropriate, here, to assign "helpfult" or "not" to individual viewpoints, it is appropriate to call to light commentary by our own UCC member, Bill Moyers.  Please click below to view that commentary:
