Rev. Wright may have retired, but Trinity’s UCC’s new pastor isn’t staying mum amid the Wright/Obama controversy, alleging for the second Sunday in a row that the church has been subject to a “crucifixion.” From the AP:

The new pastor of Barack Obama’s Chicago church said during Easter Sunday services that recent national scrutiny of the church is a test that will only make the congregation stronger.

“Any time you go through a crucifixion experience … eventually they have to lift you up,” said the Rev. Otis Moss III, who did not shy away from the controversy surrounding his predecessor at Trinity United Church of Christ, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
