Solid Rock Christian Church / The Refuge is an interdenominational Charismatic church and ministry in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Rev. Bruce Wright, Director, The Refuge

"The right wing and American capitalism are synonymous with Christianity in America. But true Christianity is completely incompatible with capitalism. Jesus said you can't serve two masters -- God and Mammon."

Rev. Bruce Wright is Director of The Refuge, a church of the poor, the homeless and the counter-culture youth. Rev. Wright says, "The Refuge is not traditional except for some theological things that are the essence of what Christianity is about - a cooperative society." The Refuge is involved in issues of social justice -- meeting people's practical needs, speaking up for the rights of the oppressed. Rev. Wright speaks on topics such as the right-wing Christian movement, the true meaning of Jesus in a Biblical sense versus how capitalism has portrayed Him; and why right-wing teachings contradict Christ. Rev. Wright says that the key to reaching "Bible believers" is "showing them from the Bible itself that they believe the opposite of what Jesus taught. The real Satan is capital, money."
