NORFOLK, Va. — Barack Obama’s retired pastor, making his first public speaking appearance since the beginning of the furor over his remarks criticizing the United States, delivered a sermon Sunday at a Virginia church.
The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. said nothing about the Democratic presidential candidate or the uproar as he preached for 40 minutes.
“Some troubles that come up in your life come up out of nowhere,” Wright said during a sermon that focused on how God helps people get through troubling times.
At the end of the two-hour- plus service, about two dozen ministers gathered around Wright and his daughter to pray for them.
