I attend Trinity United Church of Christ, and my pastor [was] Jeremiah Wright.
Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of our civic religion. I am a big believer in the separation of church and state.
Black churches minister to social needs out of necessity.
I'm not denouncing the church, and I'm not interested in people who want me to denounce the church. It's not a church worthy of denouncing.
