There’s a call for a nationwide “sacred conversation about race.” Naturally, it comes from the disgraced church under whose aegis the not-sacred Rev. Jeremiah Wright preached for 35 years:
Rev. H. John Thomas, General Minister and President of the United Church of Christ, speaks at a press conference at Trinity United Church of Christ Thursday, April 4, 2008 in Chicago announcing that the UCC , joined by the National Council or the Churches of Christ in the USA are calling for a nationwide “sacred conversation” abut race in the United States.
