Is Obama Wright or Wrong?
Posted in 2008 Politics on March 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The DRC has been silent on the controversy surrounding Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama and his spiritual mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

To the RPCNA I owe my new life in Christ. She is my mother and I dearly love her.
In loyalty to my mother I have tried to work through her doctrine of the mediatorial Kingship of Christ over the nations and to defend its 20th Century application National Confessionalism. I have always found [...]
