Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr. - The Opposite Of Reverend Wright
Minister in Norfolk Area Declares ‘Unity & Patriotism’ Day as Counter-Balance to Jeremiah Wright’s Speech at Norfolk Church
Says Bishop Jackson,
“Last Friday I buried a young African American soldier who died from wounds suffered in Iraq”. “Before he went on that mission - his second voluntary tour - he told his mother he was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Seen in that light, Rev. Wright’s remarks are beneath contempt and denigrate the sacrifice of Sgt. Jevon K. Jordan and many other Americans, black, white and every other ethnic background.”
Bishop Jackson is an unapologetic patriot. He has criticized Barack Obama’s removal of his flag lapel pin.
“People have bled and died under the banner of that flag, and it’s not good enough for you to wear it?” Jackson asks rhetorically. “What is it about our flag that you don’t like?”
Bishop Jackson’s says Exodus Faith Ministries’ Sunday service will not be about who Rev. Wright is, “But about who we are as Americans. We are a nation thirsting to be all that the Founding Fathers envisioned and more, not wallowing in the past but marching forward into an ever greater future.”
