Otis Moss III is a current pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, although Jeremiah Wright retains the title of senior pastor. According to media accounts, most notably TIME magazine, the church appears to be in the middle of a power struggle.
Background and Education
Moss received his bachelors degree from Morehouse College, and later his master's degree from Yale University. He began work on a doctorate at the University of Denver's Iliff School of Theology, under Vincent Harding.
Pastoral career
Prior to becoming a pastor at TUCC, Moss was pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia.
Personal life
Moss is married to Monica Brown Moss, and has two children.
Controversy
In the wake of the Jeremiah Wright sermon controversy, Moss delivered a sermon on the topic, calling the criticism of Wright's statements a "lynching", referencing CNN as "RNN" (Roman News Network), a reference to Roman soldiers who killed Jesus Christ, and NPR as "National 'Publican Radio."
