Jeremiah Wright

Wright is a figure of genuine scale, whatever one makes of the controversies attached to him. Born in Philadelphia in 1941 and educated at Howard University, he led Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ for 36 years and watched its membership swell past 8,000. That growth is not an accident; it reflects a preacher with extraordinary command of the pulpit and a feel for the spiritual life of a community. He sits squarely within the rich tradition of the Black American church, where the sermon is both art form and social force. I may not endorse every word, but the pastoral achievement of building that congregation is undeniable.
