Crowds return to hear Obama's former pastor in Detroit

From Detroit-

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. continued to draw large crowds to a three-day revival at Oak Grove African Methodist Episcopal Church on Detroit's northwest side, this time concentrating on a spiritual message.

Wright, known as the former pastor of President Barack Obama, has drawn attention for fiery and sometimes controversial sermons on social issues.
Wright spoke to the standing room-only crowd about being more like Christ and changing their lives for the better by changing their behavior.

Tuesday's sermon was part of the "What Does The Lord Require" theme of his three-day revival.
During his sermon, Wright took the American public to task for its fixation on the Tiger Woods scandal involving the pro golfer's extra-marital affairs while "two unwinnable wars are being waged" by the United States.

Wright chided Americans for paying too much attention to the "latest woman to claim that she had the tiger by the tail."

"Americans are fascinated by Tiger Woods'infidelities," Wright told the crowd, which clapped loudly in agreement.

Wright is pastor emeritus at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where the former president attended.

Wright speaks again 7 tonight at Oak Grove, 19801 Cherrylawn.
