WHAT CHURCH COUNCILS DO!

D
o you know what the National Council of Churches is? Do you know what the World
Council of Churches is? Do you know what either of those bodies does? Or is your
knowledge of the Body of Christ across denominational lines limited to hot ticket items like
the arguments over “tongues,” whether Christians should be watching Harry Potter, homosexuality
and abortion?
Most Christians sitting in their pews have no concept whatsoever as to what the various Councils
of Churches do, in spite of the fact that their work is absolutely invaluable and smack dab in the
middle of the agenda of Jesus Christ. Trinity United Church of Christ and the denomination (the
United Church of Christ) are a part of these Councils, and I thought that you, our members (and
visitors) just might want to see a glimpse of some of their important work that goes far beyond the
“controversial” issues that the media loves to highlight.
Below is a portion of an article about the Wisconsin Council of Churches written by my mentor
and Dr. Julia Speller’s advisor. Read! Learn! and Rejoice! Somebody is trying to be the church after
“having” church on Sundays.

REPORT FROM WISCONSIN

— Martin E. Marty
Last month, I spent a page sighting activities
in mainline Protestant bodies as exemplified
in a large congregation, and extrapolating on
the basis of that to smaller ones everywhere
(“Mainline Mission,” June 4). Today I focus
on a Council of Churches in order to look at
councils of churches…
Now, in the nature of things, such councils
[as the Wisconsin Council of Churches, the
National Council of Churches and the World
Council of Churches] are always under-
staffed, under-budgeted, and under-noticed,
but they coordinate and/or are the pulse
of many things that go on in the putatively
languishing mainline. They are under-noticed
in part because the mainline [churches like
Trinity UCC and the mainline denominations
like the UCC are]...not adept at or focused
on the media. They make news this century
mainly because they are torn over the issue of
homosexuality.
So what goes on, beyond the Forum —

Council of Churches]? To those who think

A FRESH VIEW OF THE
PALESTINIAN STRUGGLE
From the Los Angeles Times
Hamas’ stand
An official of the movement describes
its goals for all of Palestine.
By Mousa Abu Marzook
July 10, 2007
DAMASCUS, SYRIA – HAMAS’ RESCUE of a
BBC journalist from his captors in Gaza last week
was surely cause for rejoicing. But I want to be clear
about one thing: We did not deliver up Alan John-
ston as some obsequious boon to Western powers.
It was done as part of our effort to secure Gaza
from the lawlessness of militias and violence, no
matter what the source. Gaza will be calm and
under the rule of law - a place where all journalists,
foreigners and guests of the Palestinian people will
be treated with dignity. Hamas has never sup-
ported attacks on Westerners, as even our harshest
critics will concede; our struggle has always been
focused on the occupier and our legal resistance
to it — a right of occupied people that is explicitly
supported by the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Yet our movement is continually linked by
President Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert to ideologies that they know full well we
do not follow, such as the agenda of Al Qaeda and
its adherents. But we are not part of a broader war.
Our resistance struggle is no one’s proxy, although
we welcome the support of people everywhere for
justice in Palestine.
Sunday, July 22, 2007
The American efforts to negate the will of the
Palestinian electorate by destroying our fledg-
ling government have not succeeded - rather, the
U.S.-assisted Fatah coup has only multiplied the
problems of Washington’s “two-state solution.”
Mr. Bush has for the moment found a pliant
friend in Abu Mazen, a “moderate” in the Ameri-
can view but one who cannot seriously expect to
command confidence in the streets of Gaza or the
West Bank after having taken American arms and
Israeli support to depose the elected government
by force. We deplore the current prognosticating
over “Fatah-land” versus “Hamastan.” In the end,
there can be only one Palestinian state.
But what of the characterization by the West
of our movement as beyond the pale of civilized
discourse? Our “militant” stance cannot by itself be
the disqualifying factor, as many armed struggles
have historically resulted in a place at the table of
nations. Nor can any deny the reasonableness of
our fight against the occupation and the right of
Palestinians to have dignity, justice and self-rule.
Yet in my many years of keeping an open mind to
all sides of the Palestine question - including those
I spent in an American prison, awaiting Israeli “jus-
tice” — I am forever asked to concede the recogni-
tion of Israel’s putative “right to exist” as a neces-
sary precondition to discussing grievances, and to
renounce positions found in the Islamic Resistance
Movement’s charter of 1988, an essentially revolu-
tionary document born of the intolerable conditions
under occupation more than 20 years ago.
10 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr
 PASTOR’S PAGE
The sticking point of “recognition” has been
used as a litmus test to judge Palestinians. Yet as I
have said before, a state may have a right to exist,
but not absolutely at the expense of other states,
or more important, at the expense of millions of
human individuals and their rights to justice. Why
should anyone concede Israel’s “right” to exist,
when it has never even acknowledged the foun-
dational crimes of murder and ethnic cleansing by
means of which Israel took our towns and villages,
our farms and orchards, and made us a nation of
refugees?
Why should any Palestinian “recognize” the
monstrous crime carried out by Israel’s founders
and continued by its deformed modern apart-
heid state, while he or she lives 10 to a room in a
cinderblock, tin-roof United Nations hut? These
are not abstract questions, and it is not rejection-
ist simply because we have refused to abandon the
victims of 1948 and their descendants.
As for the 1988 charter, if every state or move-
ment were to be judged solely by its foundational,
revolutionary documents or the ideas of its pro-
genitors, there would be a good deal to answer for
on all sides. The American Declaration of Indepen-
dence, with its self-evident truth of equality, simply
did not countenance (at least, not in the minds of
most of its illustrious signatories) any such status
for the 700,000 African slaves at that time; nor did
the Constitution avoid codifying slavery as an insti-
tution, counting “other persons” as three-fifths of
a man. Israel, which has never formally adopted a
constitution of its own but rather operates through
the slow accretion of Basic Laws, declares itself ex-
plicitly to be a state for the Jews, conferring privi-
leged status based on faith in a land where millions
Sunday, July 22, 2007
of occupants are Arabs, Muslims and Christians.
The writings of Israel’s “founders” — from Her-
zl to Jabotinsky to Ben Gurion — make repeated
calls for the destruction of Palestine’s non-Jewish
inhabitants: “We must expel the Arabs and take
their places.” A number of political parties today
control blocs in the Israeli Knesset, while advocat-
ing for the expulsion of Arab citizens from Israel
and the rest of Palestine, envisioning a single Jew-
ish state from the Jordan to the sea. Yet I hear no
clamor in the international community for Israel to
repudiate these words as a necessary precondition
for any discourse whatsoever. The double standard,
as always, is in effect for Palestinians.
I, for one, do not trouble myself over “recogniz-
ing” Israel’s right to exist — this is not, after all,
an epistemological problem; Israel does exist, as
any Rafah boy in a hospital bed, with IDF shrapnel
in his torso, can tell you. This dance of mutual
rejection is a mere distraction when so many are
dying or have lived as prisoners for two generations
in refugee camps. As I write these words, Israeli
forays into Gaza have killed another 15 people, in-
cluding a child. Who but a Jacobin dares to discuss
the “rights” of nations in the face of such relentless
state violence against an occupied population?
I look forward to the day when Israel can say to
me, and millions of other Palestinians: “Here, here
is your family’s house by the sea, here are your
lemon trees, the olive grove your father tended:
Come home and be whole again.” Then we can
speak of a future together.

political bureau of Hamas, the Islamic Resistance

DAY OF DECENCY
Save The Date and Join The Protest
O
n Tuesday, August 7, at 11:00 a.m.
(CST), the National Action Network’s
Decency Initiative will take to the streets
in 20 cities, including Chicago, in an effort to
mound public pressure on the music industry to
adopt a universal standard of respect for all people.
Since April, the Decency Initiative, under the
leadership of Reverend Al Sharpton and Tamika
Mallory, and in collaboration with dozens of
activists across the nation, has demanded that
the music recording industry eliminate the use of
the offensive “n,” “b,” and “h” words in record-
ings. Because no other ethnic group is subjected
to denigration for profit by the music industry,
the Decency Initiative will continue to demand a
universal standard of respect, particularly for all
women and African Americans.
STOP PACE!
H
earings have begun concerning service
cuts and fare increases on the Pace Bus
line, which will significantly affect the
Chicago area’s disabled paratransit riders. Some
changes being discussed include:
• Discontinue disabled passengers from making
same-day changes to their destinations
• Discontinue allowing same-day changes to pick-
up times and drop-offs
• Discontinue door-to-door service (Drivers not
allowed to assist riders)
• Discontinue weekend service
• Splitting routes into various regions, causing
disabled riders to transfer from one bus
Sunday, July 22, 2007
Protests and press conferences will take place
outside the offices of major music distributors that
distribute this offensive music within our com-
munities. The protests will be multicultural and
will include all age groups. We invite all women
and men (especially leaders and students), from all
facets of the community to join us. We will stand
united in defense of decency, and protest the use of
public airwaves to promote disrespect. This gather-
ing is just the beginning of a national movement
to achieve this end.
For more information, send an e-mail to the
Chicago Chapter of the National Action Network
at NAN_Chgo@yahoo.com, or visit the National
Action Network’s website at www.nationalactionnet-
work.net.
• Significant increase in fare (increases to $4.00
one way and $8.00 round trip)
• Discontinue ADA monthly passes.
Hearings to discuss the proposed cuts and fare
increases will be held:

WE ARE LEAVING RADIO STATION WJYS!

A
fter many years of trying to be faithful in ministry to our television viewing audience we
have had to make a financial decision because of the lack of funds. We would rather lose the
viewing audience who watches us on Sunday nights than lose staff!
We do not have the money to stay on WJYS any longer. When the decision was made, as to whether
or not we should come off of WJYS or fire staff, we decided (as we always do) to make our choice in
light of the human costs and the potential loss to families of income. We would rather lose television
viewers than lose staff members who depend on their income to support their families.
Staying on WJYS is costing our congregation a tremendous amount of money. We are losing in
excess of $14,000.00 a month! Our television viewers do not support us financially. Our television
viewers do not buy tapes. Our television viewers do not send donations and we pay for that WJYS
airtime entirely out of our church offerings!
We cannot afford to be on WJYS and on national television at the same time. We will remain on
national television and we can be seen (videotaped or TiVo’d) every Sunday morning at six-thirty in
the morning Central Standard Time.
We are on the only Black-owned national television cable channel in the country. We support Black
businessmen and Black businesswomen and we will continue to support Cathy Hughes and TV One
as we try to minister to our national television audience every Sunday morning.
Please alert all of your friends and family members who do not have Direct TV or TV One that
they have from now until Sunday, July 29th to get it. That is if they want to continue to watch us on
television!
The cost for that cable coverage per year would be more than they have given Trinity in all of the
years that we have been on television station WJYS.
We will continue to be on TV One and we thank you for your loyal support of our congregation
and its Media Ministry.

TODAY IS OUR LAST SUNDAY ON WJYS!

Gratefully yours,

Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

 S TEWARD S HIP
THE RESULTS OF A REDEEMED LIFE
CAN YOU HONESTLY JUDGE?

P
ray, don’t find fault with the man who limps or stumbles along
the road, unless you have worn the shoes he wears or struggled
beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt,
though hidden from view, or the burden he bears placed on your back
might cause you to stumble too.

Don’t sneer at the man who is down today, unless you have felt the
blow that caused his fall or felt the same that only the fallen know. You
may be strong, but still, the blows that were his, if dealt to you, in the
same way and at the same time, might cause you to stagger too.

Don’t be too harsh with the man who sins or pelt him with words or
stones, unless you are sure, yes, doubly sure, that you have not sins of
your own. For you know perhaps, if the tempter’s voice should whisper
as soft to you, as it did to him when he went astray, it would cause you
to falter, too.

Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry
