Moving Wright to Dallas stifles opportunity

Published Mar 26, 2008

In the face of controversy, TCU is shying away.


The university has distanced itself from the Brite Divinity School's efforts to bring the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to TCU, voting to move the event involving the controversial pastor off campus.


Many of the comments by Barack Obama's Chicago pastor are certainly offensive, but should be tolerated for an optional event on a college campus. TCU and Brite have both made it clear already they don't endorse his comments anyway.

Letter to the Editor: Wright’s dialogue raises important societal issues

Published Mar 26, 2008

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright was Barack Obama's pastor and TCU has more than an academic interest in this story.


TCU is related to the Disciples (for at least a little longer), and the Disciples are related to the United Church of Christ. Wright is a UCC minister. I know Wright, and as a Disciple and twice a graduate from TCU, I'll fall on my sword for him because we must have the big conversation on race.


Racism became brutal for me when I became intimately involved with immigration, migration, refugees and persons seeking political asylum.

University’s decision to denounce reverend overbearing

Published Mar 25, 2008

Would future "ethical leaders and responsible citizens in a global community" do well to take recent cues from our school's administrative leadership?


The question stems from Brite Divinity School over Brite's decision to recognize the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.


Wright is notable because he has a long-standing pastoral relationship with Sen. Barack Obama. A few of his sermons have included incendiary remarks that have Obama in political peril.
