The AP has a profile on Rev. Otis Moss III. Who’s he? Perhaps you’ve heard of his predecessor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, at Trinity UCC in Chicago.

QUOTE:

Moss’ ascent follows the retirement of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whom Obama angrily denounced Tuesday for his “divisive and destructive” remarks.

It’s a shift from more than three decades under Wright, a preacher born of the civil-rights era whose fiery comments about Sept. 11, HIV/AIDS and other issues have placed the church under a media microscope.

“Pastor Moss has inherited the repercussions of an attack he had nothing to do with,” said Brenda Salter McNeil, president of an Oak Park, Ill.-based company that works on diversity issues in Christian organizations. “He has to pastor a people through it.”
