Bill Moyers and Reverend Wright

This is TRULY must watch TV. If you have not seen Bill Moyers' show, then let this be your first time. [If you don't have time to watch it, you can read the transcript.]

Message I sent to Mr. Moyers:
Thank you so much for having Reverend Wright on your show. I am always
appreciative of your show, but I am especially grateful today. Anyone and
everyone who feels the right to throw the first stone should be first required
to learn something more about a person than a sound bite. You have provided this
glimpse.I am especially happy that the first question was how he was called to
the ministry. First things first, you said. Thank you again.
I am not a person of faith in any traditional sense, but I have a great respect for those who feel their faith strongly, and especially those who work from that faith with the integrity intended by faith not the prejudice frequently preached through orthodoxy.

Regardless of what stone-throwers might say, both of these men (Moyers and Wright) walk the walk. If only we had the courage to do as they do.

  1. Now that Wright is out & about speaking, it will be interesting to if & when his current words come up. Seems like he is the most popular religious leader since MLK but for much different reasons.
