Tyranny of OR
If Wright would use his considerable influence to preach that individuals should take responsibility for themselves rather than paint themselves as victims, he would be doing his parishioners a real service. After all, this is the lesson of life and it applies to all of us.
It seems to me that the role of a real teacher is to point out shortcomings and things that need fixing, instead of merely allowing everyone to develop a false sense of perfection every sunday. If you would take a look at the web page for tucc, you'd see there's a lot going on, too much to list here: http://www.tucc.org/ministries.htm. Having not been there, I'm sure it could all be a facade. On the other hand, it doesn't look like the work of people intent on being victims.
It's possible to raise people up AND wag the finger. It may be necessary to do both.
