He almost wrecked Barack Obama<\/a>‘s presidential dreams, and now firebrand pastor Jeremiah Wright has helped destroy a Dallas church worker’s marriage – and her job, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Payne, 37, said she had a steamy sexual affair with the controversial, racially divisive man of the cloth while she was an executive assistant at a church headed by a popular Wright protégé.<\/p>\n

When word of the unholy alliance got out, Payne’s husband dumped her, and she was canned from the plum job at Friendship-West Baptist Church, she told The Post.<\/p>\n

"I was involved with Rev. Wright, and that’s why I lost my job and why my husband divorced me," Payne said.<\/p>\n

She refused to reveal when the adulterous affair started or how she met Wright.<\/p>\n

But fellow churchgoers at Friendship-West "found out about the affair in the spring," Payne said.<\/p>\n

At the time, she was secretary to the Rev. Frederick Haynes III, a longtime Wright disciple.<\/p>\n

In April, Payne organized a series of Texas public appearances by Wright, 67. Weeks before, Obama had disavowed his preacher of 20 years after Wright’s anti-government rants came to light.<\/p>\n

"Liz was by Rev. Wright’s side day and night during those days," a church source said.<\/p>\n

"It’s all true," said Payne, adding that she has filed a wrongful-dismissal claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to get her job back.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
