Run by the sort of character that the press often guardedly describes as “flamboyant”

Dunno about “often.” The only reference I could find to Rev. Wright as “flamboyant” was here, though I haven’t run it through Lexis/Nexis. I couldn’t find anything in the Tribune or Sun-Times archives.
The only “creationist” book I could find among the hundreds in TUCC’s online bookstore is the children’s book God Created. “Brisk tour” my ass.
For a non-douchebaggy take on TUCC, check out the opinion of an actual expert, the University of Chicago’s Martin Marty. It’s also worth noting, I think, that TUCC is admirably tolerant–Donald Young, the church’s late choir director who was shot and killed late last year, was openly gay (not something that I recall reading in the Tribune or Sun-Times articles, oddly enough).
