John, all churches have similar outreach and charitable programs.....the bigger and wealthier they are, the more programs.
Where Trinity departs, and oversteps its purview, is the extent to which it injects political ideology. This is why it's under investigation and finds its non-profit status threatened.
As for Wright, my guess from the beginning has been that he's basically a con artist, in the tradition of the typical tent revivalist con artist, just on a bigger, more prominent scale.
I suspect an investigation would find a money trail leading to Wright's hand being in the till, so to speak. His building an overly large, overly expensive retirement home in a white gated community speaks volumes to me as to his priorities.
Most people grow less attached to material possessions as they grow older.....devout Christians even more so. I could be so wrong, of course, but I suspect Wright is just one more hypocritical, sin-filled religious figure that ends up disappointing his followers and turning people against religion. |
