Barack Obama's spiritual mentor retires from pastorate.

Bro. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, recently preached his last sermon as pastor of this 8500+ member congregation. He is a legend; and his ministry modelled African American empowerment.It was under his ministry that Barack Obama came to faith in Jesus Christ. Obama's electrifying speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention was inspired by one of Bro. Wright's sermons.

(I met him in the early '90s when he came to my seminary to lecture.)
