Few churchgoers notice, but all religious services and ceremonies are Theater.
Roman Catholicism stages spectaculars for Christianity, while the hajj at the Al-Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca is the Super Bowl of Islam.
Mormon Sunday services are barely enlivened by music, while Quaker meetings are a snooze-fest.
On the other hand, black people bring the joy, in the U.S. anyway.
Which brings me to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, putting on his personal Theater act in Washington, D.C., this week. Give me Wright over Billy Graham any time. Wright’s a showman. Whitey's preachers are bores.
Amen.
