"The African American Religious Experience; Theology & Practice" (Updated)

That's the title of a talk the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright will give next week at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.  Here's part of the blurb on Wright's presentation:

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 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.

And, as has already been widely noted, Wright will join Bill Moyers this Friday on Bill Moyers Journal.

UPDATE: The Caucus gets a preview of Wright's comments on Bill Moyers Journal.

Melissa:
Will you and Charles Kimball and Tim Tyson and others with ties to North Carolina call on all Baptists even down to the associational level, including Southern Baptists, to denounce Floyd Brown's 527 that is causing a big ruckus.
I have posted on it at www.baptistlife.com sbc trends.
I would hope that you would call on the man who baptized Cindy McCain to join the chorus calling on witness against this mess.
Also at bl.com please follow the evolving uproar at Furman about President Bush coming as commencement speaker.
Upwards of 150 faculty are signing a statement of dissent.
At your grandparents Baptist Church of the Covenant, friends tell me Sara preached an outstanding sermon Sunday about the Resurrection and Eternal Life.
