A few reporters attended Easter services Sunday at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago to see, among other things, whether the fiery sound bites from Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. speak to the church’s true nature....The congregation is defiant, basking in the attention it has received while being egged on by the church’s spiritual leaders. Wright’s successor, Rev. Otis Moss III, used Sunday’s Easter sermons to compare media focus on Wright to the Romans’ persecution and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
“Trinity, it may seem, we are being crucified sometimes,” Moss said toward the end of his afternoon sermon, using Jesus as a metaphor in his third sermon of the day, and warning that with attention comes visibility.
“I want to let you know, we’re in high demand! Our stock just went up!” he shouted.
