Reports of Rev. Wright's Retirement Seem Greatly Exaggerated
About-Face
(Fox News) - Reports of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's retirement apparently have been greatly exaggerated.
Wright was to have stepped down as senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ last Sunday and his hand-picked successor, the Reverend Otis Moss III, was to deliver his first sermon in that role.
Instead, church bulletins identified Moss as "pastor" rather than "senior pastor." And, Time Magazine Reports Wright said during a meeting with church leaders that Moss should be declared "senior pastor-elect" because he still needs supervision.
Moss was also ordered to fire the first person he hired, his head of communications. The ordeal is not sitting well with some in the congregation. One church member said, "Two years ago you felt God gave you the vision to bring Reverend Moss here. Why are you second-guessing God's vision?"
