    	Has anyone heard him preach?  (Not stump, but really preach.)

    I haven't, but would like too to see if my hunch is correct or not.

    In the broader sense of the word, I can't remember hearing Jesse
    *not* preach.  :-}

 ZZZ   ordained Christian minister, 
    
    Ordained minister.  I can't make the assuption he is a Christian
    minister because I personally have never heard him preach on the
    kingdom of God.  I'm not saying he isn't, I would just prefer not to
    make that assumption.
    
    My personal opinion on the man is no secret.  I think he has some real
    issues he needs to deal with in his own life.  I make this observation
    freely because Jesse Jackson is a politician and has opened himself to
    this sort of scrutiny.  Personally, I feel the man is a discredit to
    his cause.

Not all ministers, ordained or otherwise, preach with words, or from a pulpit.

Jesse is hardly wartless.  However, there is no doubt in my mind that the
man is a Christian.  In the traditional sense of the word, I never heard
the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. preach, either.

Shalom,
Richard

    Well, I hope he is.  My warts just tend to be a little less
    conspicuous; however, they do exist!
