Lost in the discussion of the Rev. Wright controversy and its impact on the Obama campaign is the fallout for the minister himself. Wright’s first public events since his sermons went YouTube, a revival in Tampa and a series of sermons in Houston, have been canceled. A third event, where he is supposed to be honored, has been downgraded to “pending.”
Time / The Page:
Was scheduled to preach three guest sermons at Houston’s Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, where he’s a regular.
Canceled citing security concerns for himself, his family and the church due to flap over controversial statements.
