Trinity United Church Of Christ

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

k.b.: Why are people afraid of a strong black church. Isn't that what the African-American community needs. Aren't white people saying more black churches need to be involved in the community to shape their young people, fight crime and help those in need. I just disturbs me that as a people how we seem to give with the one hand and then take away with the other. That's what we are doing with our attitude toward Rev. Wright and Trinity United.

Yes we need the black church but don't let it be too black and all that support of Africa stuff is un-American and why can't the white folks attend services there. We, as white, people cannot even fathom what the black community has experienced since they were torn from their native land hundreds of years ago. For us to presume and negate and dictate what that black church should be all about is nothing but another form of slavery.

Was Rev. Wright angry in his sermons and should he be? Hell yes. Was it race baiting? I'm not sure. Did the Rev. want to change his parishioners behavior towards whites? Or was he simply telling the truth using inflammatory words. Some people need to get down off their high horse and stop whining that every time someone says something derogatory about a part of American life that it means they no longer want to be an American. I hope we as a culture work this out soon and without violence because as a white woman I know I am soon becoming a minority in America. All colors and all creeds that's what this country is all about.
