WASHINGTON, May 1 /Standard Newswire/ -- In a recorded conference call recently posted on the Internet, four African-American church leaders debunk the claim by Reverend Jeremiah Wright that attacks against him are actually attacks on the black church. The group also examines Wright’s liberation theology and how it contradicts the historic Christian message and that of the black church. The 18-minute audio file can be accessed at www.faithandaction.org  or  http://www.faithandaction.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=feature.display&feature_id=555

The call is moderated by Rev. Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK), president of Faith and Action, America’s only Christian missionary outreach to elected and appointed officials located across the street from the United States Supreme Court. Schenck and his organization routinely partner with African-American congregations, ministers and organizations to promote the sanctity of life, marriage and the family and the public acknowledgment of God.
