D.C.'s historic Florida Avenue Baptist Church is  marking its centennial with a special sermon on Sunday, delivered by  President Barack Obama's former pastor, the controversial Jeremiah  Wright.

During the 2008 Obama campaign, the media dissected  and lambasted Wright's former sermons, which included remarks that the  Sept. 11 attacks were proof "America's chickens are coming home to  roost," and another comment: "...not 'God Bless America.' God damn  America."

When reached by phone, the church said it did not know what Wright's sermon would be about.

Since its founding 100 years ago, the Florida Avenue Baptist Church has only had four pastors, but welcomed numerous guest pastors to speak.

Wright is pastor emeritus of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, having retired in early 2008.

Update, 2:26 p.m.:

Florida Avenue Baptist Church Reverend Doctor Earl D. Trent Jr. tells Whispers that Wright was chosen because the church has a longstanding relationship with the Chicago pastor.

"We've always been at the cutting edge here," Reverend Trent said. "And the more special the occasion, the more special the guest."   For Thanksgiving they are having Mike Tyson speak.
