***Chicago Magazine is one interview where she said she "left organized 
religion" . . . "I have a church within myself; I have church walking down 
the street."

I also read it a couple of other places.  One other interview, and I can't 
find the rest of it right now, she says, and I paraphrase, that the extent 
of her attending church is when she lectures at churches, free of charge, 
about abuse and education.

The only person saying she was/is a member of Wright's particular church is 
Wright.
