A short post about Obama and Reverend Wright

In the past two days I learned two female friends of mine were Clinton supporters. Only one still lives in Indiana. She specifically mentioned Reverend Wright. Which lead me to thinking that no one has written or pontificated on the United Church of Christ. Checking out Wikipedia, I found this paragraph interesting:
The motto of the United Church of Christ comes from John 17:21: "That they may all be one." The denomination's official literature uses broad doctrinal parameters, honoring creeds and confessions as "testimonies of faith" rather than "tests of faith," and emphasizes freedom of individual conscience and local church autonomy. Indeed, the relationship between local congregations and the denomination's national headquarters is covenantal rather than hierarchical: local churches have complete control of their finances, hiring and firing of clergy and other staff, and theological and political stands.
Emphasizing freedom of individual conscience implies to me that members can think as they want - regardless of what is preached to them.
