Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., Prominent Black Minister, Attorney and Law Professor Says Jeremiah Wright Undermines the Integrity of the Black Church, the Black Preacher and The Gospel Message Itself

MEDIA ADVISORY, April 28 /Standard Newswire/ -- Bishop Jackson, who has spoken out on issues as a pastor, former radio talk show host and former official of the Christian Coalition, has continued his campaign to inform the public that Jeremiah Wright does not represent Biblical Christianity. Says Bishop Jackson, "I must take a stand against heresy masquerading as Christianity. It is not the media - whether Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News or anyone else - which has attacked the black church. It is Jeremiah Wright who has attacked and undermined the black church. The media has simply done its job of reporting the outrageous anti-American, anti-Christian and unpatriotic statements of Rev. Wright."

Barrack Obama's former Pastor spoke last night to the NAACP and to the National Press Club this morning. In Bishop Jackson's view he confirmed the accuracy of the so called "sound bites". Says Bishop Jackson, "Wright reiterated his rather crazy belief that America created AIDS to kill black people. He affirmed that Louis Farrakhan is one of the most important voices in the world. He again accused Israel of ruling the Palestinians in an apartheid fashion. And perhaps worst of all, he again accused the United States of being a terrorist country which brought 9-1-1 upon ourselves. It is frightening to think we may be about to elect a President who spent 20 years under the tutelage of such a man."

What also incensed Bishop Jackson is that Wright suggested that the reason he is being "attacked" is that the media does not understand the style of black preaching. "Style is not the issue," Bishop Jackson counters. "The problem is the substance of what Rev. Wright says, not his 'bombastic' style. Preachers from many cultural backgrounds raise their voices at times. The question is not their volume, but their values. The rub with Wright is that he's wrong, not that he's loud. Rev. Wright does not represent the Biblical Christianity of the black church, and it is presumptuous for him to suggest that he does."

Bishop Jackson is calling on Christians - of every race and culture - nationwide to unite in denouncing the false messages of Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan and others like them. On Barak Obama's long association with Wright, the Bishop says, "It would be wonderful to one day see an African American elected President, but it does not appear that Barak Obama should be that person."
