"Before Bush's remarks, Bishop T.D. Jakes, head of 30,000-member Potter's House church in Dallas, delivered a powerful sermon in which he called upon Americans to "dare to discuss the unmentionable issues that confront us" and to not rest until the poor are raised to an acceptable living standard.

"Katrina, perhaps, she has done something to this nation that needed to be done," Jakes said. "We can no longer be a nation that overlooks the poor and the suffering, that continues past the ghetto on our way to the Mardi Gras."

That is all I've found so far. He didn't sound like a Bush buddy in the sermon.

I actually only heard it because I walked into a room with the TV left on CNN and he was in the middle of the sermon when I walked in the room. I wasn't planning on listening to the service.
