As a daily reader of letters to the editor in the R&L, I have watched daily for a letter from some area clergyman on the antics of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
In a community with a church on practically every block, I did not think that was too much to expect.
Every person has a right to share and express his or her opinions with others - even when those beliefs and statements are as goofy as those that came forth from the Rev. Wright. He can stand on every street corner and spout his ignorance and hatred.
What concerns me is that when one is truly called into the ministry and speaks from the pulpit, those messages are to truly be a word from the Lord. The pulpit is not a place for personal ideas - hateful or otherwise.
Whoever is the ruling authority in his denomination should immediately remove him from the ministry and let him pout in his multi-million dollar castle.
