Obama, Oprah and Jeremiah Wright

Last week a reader here at Right Truth wondered if anyone would do an expose on Oprah Winfrey and her connections to Jeremiah Wright's church. Layla at The HILL Chronicles has done just that in the "Oprah Obama Link":

... Winfrey abruptly stopped attending years ago, and suggested that she did so to distance herself from Wright’s inflammatory rhetoric. She soon found herself a target of Wright, who excoriated her for having broken with “traditional faith.”

I was referred to this quote via Glenn Reynolds, which linked to JustOneMinute. [snip]

When she first came to Trinity in the 1980s, it seemed that she would become an active participant. Says Wright, “She walked the aisle to become a member, publicly claimed us as her church in Ebony magazine, and when I would run into her socially, like at a United Negro College Fund dinner, she would say, ‘Here’s my pastor!’” But Oprah never completed the membership classes and after awhile her attendance dropped off.

I have been very curious about what both Oprah's school as well as Obama's eponymously named school in Kenya teach in their textbooks. It would be particularly interesting to see how America and the West are painted.
It seems Oprah is more New Age than christian though.
