The Wright brothers' father

[snopes]

Comment: I found the following story on the internet (I also heard it in
church) and I wanted to find out whethere our not it was true:

"A bishop [in the late 19th Century] pronounced from his pulpit and in the
periodical he edited that heavier-than-air flight was both impossible and
contrary to the will of God. Oh, the irony that Bishop Wright had two
sons, Orville and Wilbur! Wright was wrong. Sure of himself, but wrong."

[Mycroft]

Milton Wright was a Bishop, but not only does Wikipaedia not list the above quote, he apparantly introduced his children to the concept of flight by buying them a toy helicopter.
