Donuts And Politics

NOTE: Dean Snyder is currently the senior minister for the Foundry United Methodist Church, and was not the pastor when the Clintons were in the White House.

Dean Snyder, the senior minister for Foundry United Methodist Church?— which the Clintons attended during Bill’s presidency?— defended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright last week on his church’s website:

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader whom I have heard speak a number of times. He has served for decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society. He has been a vocal critic of the racism, sexism and homophobia which still tarnish the American dream. … Dr. Wright, a member of an integrated denomination, has been an agent of racial reconciliation while proclaiming perceptions and truths uncomfortable for some white people to hear. Those of us who are white Americans would do well to listen carefully to Dr. Wright rather than to use a few of his quotes to polarize.
