Please Say It Ain't So! -- Black Clergy Snubbed by Majority of Congressional Black Caucus

According to a September 9, 2004 report by World Net Daily (worldnetdaily.com), 160 Black clergy from 26 states traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the annual confab hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus.

White House correspondent Les Kinsolving writes, "(The black clergy) invited the caucus to their Monday morning news conference in the Rayburn House Office Building, where they affirmed: 'Gay marriage is not a civil right' and asked for caucus support in their opposition to same-sex marriage. The members of the Black Caucus were no-shows – except one, who arrived late. Almost all of Washington's media also ignored the event, despite wide distribution of notices about the press conference. Bishop-elect Anthony Muse of Oxon Hill, Md., told the news conference: 'We are disappointed in the Congressional Black Caucus and we intend to call them to account.'"

I have friends in the Congressional Black Caucus. I cannot believe any of them would be insensitive to the Black clergy.
