Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Wright or Wrong?

(Fox News) - Some prominent African-American Christians dispute the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's claims that criticism of him is an attack on the black church.

Bible church Pastor Kenneth Hutcherson of Seattle tells Cybercast News, "I didn't know Reverend Jeremiah Wright was the sole representative of the black church. He was attacked for what he said, not because he represents the black church."

Episcopal Bishop Council Nedd of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania says, "It appears he's made his career pandering to a certain constituency and it appears his chickens have come home to roost."

And, Mychal Massie of the conservative black think tank Project 21 — who holds theology degrees says, "There is no black church. There is no white church. There's only the Christian church."
