“I’ve often wondered about Reverend Jackson and Reverend Sharpton. Did they go to divinity school? Are they ordained ministers in any known religious denomination? Where are their churches?”
NO, they both found their “callings” in a Cracker Jack box! Or they did it by mail order from that place in Fresno. (Sorry Jim, but I have a friend who got one from Fresno in order to marry some people). I think it was “The Church of the Gooey Death, Baptismal Car Wash, and Discount House of Sin”).
The Reverend Jesse attended the Chicago Theological Seminary dropping out in 1966, to focus full-time on the civil rights movement. He was ordained in 1968, and was awarded his Master of Divinity Degree in 2000. His baby daddy, who was not married to baby momma, was Noah Robinson, Michelle's Uncle. The Rev. Jesse's Half-bro, Noah, Jr., ran the notorious al-rukyn street gang and IIRC, is doing hard time as we speak. See:

In regard to both these here Revs, one can only take the Christian view as expressed in (II Cor. 4:2),and in (II Thes. 2:10), and perhaps more pointedly in Philippians 1:15.
