Frank Schaeffer offers a different perspective

When I wrote a story in The Washington Times that appeared in last Friday's edition, about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, I expected a response by the media to follow and analyze it. But what I didn't expect was to have politicians and pundits attempt to dissect the body of free and religious speech, cut and tie off a vein, and try to connect it to Sen. Barack Obama. There have actually been people out there calling for Mr. Obama to leave his church if he doesn't agree with his preacher. A man's church is like his home, his spiritual home, and no one has the right to tell him to leave it. I can't editorialize and write a column here, but I can point out there are others who have talked about this in a responsible way. One of those people is Frank Schaeffer, son of Francis Schaeffer, the Presbyterian minister who sparked the Religious Right movement in America. The younger Schaeffer has written about his own perspective on Mr. Obama's preacher. Take it from him. &#8212 Brian DeBose, national and political reporter, The Washington Times
