The Old Black Church

Lord Jesus help us, a father walked into a Sacramento, California, church and shot three of his children -- all under the age of 15 -- before turning the gun on himself. A fifth person was also shot and killed, police said. Sgt. Rod Grassman with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said at a press conference. The fifth person found dead was identified as the wife of the shooter, Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District Capt. Parker Wilbourn told CNN. There were other people in The Church in Sacramento at the time of the shooting but none were involved, Wilbourn said. Most of the others were employees or congregates, he said, and no one else at the scene required medical transport. Five people are dead, including three children, after an apparent murder-suicide shooting at a church in Sacramento, California, authorities said Monday. https://t.co/BMVvARte55 — Strawberry NG News (@StrawberryNG) March 1, 2022

If you are black, stay back, look at this, Ukraine is right in the middle of a war with  Russia and these people STILL want to come with their racism. It's like no matter where we go, black folks are hated throughout the world. For those of you who are still asleep, this should be a serious wake-up call we must do for ourselves.  Hundreds of Africans have spent up to three freezing days and nights on the Poland-Ukraine border prevented from leaving the warzone, according to multiple sources. Africans have reported being whipped by troops near the Polish border, and mobile phone footage shows soldiers pointing automatic weapons at the men and women attempting to flee the conflict following the Russian invasion. Winston Benibo, who is at the Shehyni border crossing, said: “The current situation for the students at the border is they are being refused exit by the Ukrainian military.  They have used force to keep over 500 students from different countries, not just Nigeria, other coun

Houses of worship own thousands of acres across the U.S., and now through millions of dollars in new grants, congregations in Atlanta, New York, Baltimore, Miami, and Seattle will be building affordable housing on their properties. The national nonprofit Enterprise Community Partners on Wednesday (Feb. 23) announced $8.5 million in grants from the Wells Fargo Foundation to help houses of worship convert underutilized land into affordable homes and community facilities. The effort was launched at Atlanta First United Methodist Church. This money will help build roughly 6,000 affordable homes, Enterprise said.    The Rev. John Cager,(picture above bottom left)pastor of Ward African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Los Angeles, helped create the Faith Community Coalition, a network of pastors that seeks to find better opportunities for faith leaders who may feel the need to sell when they’re in a position of declining revenue.

The conservative media personality Zoe Sozo Bethel, who was last year crowned Miss Alabama for America Strong(Not Miss Alabama) died days after she fell out of the window of a three-story building, the Miami Police Department told Insider on Tuesday. Police told Insider they responded to a "possible suicide attempt" on February 11 at 12 a.m. The woman, identified as 27-year-old Bethel, was transported to the Jackson Memorial Hospital "in critical condition," the statement said. A week later, on Friday, Bethel died, and her cause of death was "blunt force trauma," police said. Her manner of death was ruled "accidental" by the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner, according to the police statement. "This was a tragic accident, and no foul play is suspected," the statement said.  Interesting Article Here  Anyhow yesterday, I saw someone say that one of her friends accidentally let it slip that she fell from a third-floor balcony. At first, they

So Le'Andria Johnson is getting some social media pushback for singing Richard Smallwood's "I Love The Lord" at Da Brat and Jesseca "Judy" Dupart's wedding reception this past week. I have been blogging for over 10 years....and have been giving these questionable Gospel music artists the side-eye for a very long time.....In all honesty, I believe this was nothing more than a money haul for Le'Andria, a paid gig.... her singing a gospel song at a gay wedding does not make her not a Christian.....her singing at the event has not gone over well with some Christians on social media. Cultural Christianity says that no matter what we do God loves everybody, and He will accept and approve all that we do, which is not true...I agree that as a Christian LeAndria maybe shouldn't have used her God-given gift to sing at a wedding not sanctioned by scripture.....but to say that she is not a Christian is another thing...my opinion, is that if her lifestyle i

 President Biden is nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, making good on a campaign promise to pick the first Black woman for the nation's highest court. Brown Jackson, 51, is a judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. "I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court," Biden wrote in a Friday morning tweet confirming his pick. "Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice."

The streaming platform Discovery+ last week released a trailer for a three-part docuseries on Hillsong Church suggesting it may be a "Cult." Hillsong Church interim global senior pastor Phil Dooley has taken issue with the docuseries content claiming that the upcoming docu-series titled “Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed” paints an unfair picture of the church. Dooley maintained that the picture Discovery Plus is painting of Hillsong is “far removed from ... the truth of who we are as a church.” He specifically slammed the producers of “Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed,” noting that “their purpose is not the healing of people, but simply to hurt the church.” I’m going to watch the doc. But I doubt it will seriously be a fair and balanced assessment of the church. Sadly, in any organization, there are always abusers who use their power corruptly and who should be exposed, because organizations are made up of humans. This is not unique to Hillsong. There are also many many good peo

Doggone shame, nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS in donor funds to RZIM Ministries were used to try to SILENCE a survivor by suing her and destroying her. A survivor we now all know was telling the TRUTH. Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) spent nearly $1 million to defend its founder and namesake against allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017 and then lied about it, according to an RZIM-funded assessment obtained by CT. "RZIM approved an external review last year to examine the ministry culture and practices that enabled apologist Ravi Zacharias to sexually abuse multiple women and almost completely cover it up. Investigators found that the board used deceptive financial maneuvers to fund the RZIM founder’s federal lawsuit against a woman he sexually abused.

Why has giving dropped at Willow Creek? Did the enemy come in and destroy the church? Robert Morris is one of the slickest prosperity wolves out there. Shame on Willow Creek for giving him a platform. Facing persistently lower giving, Willow Creek Community Church invited alleged prosperity preacher Robert Morris to deliver a guest sermon on tithing. He made a singular promise: Tithe for a year, and if you’re not satisfied, you’ll get your money back. “Thousands and thousands” had seen their lives changed after starting to give 10% of their income regularly, Morris said. “If you’ll try it for one year, if you are not fully satisfied at the end of that year, I’ll give you your money back. In 22 years of the church, no one’s ever asked for money (back).” When asked about the money-back guarantee, Willow Creek Executive Pastor Tim Stevens said Willow is spreading the word about God’s miraculous provision — not a prosperity gospel.

While I don't agree with the doctrine of the Seventh Day Adventists I believe in this case, they should have moved the time to accommodate their convictions. Oakwood Academy is a Seventh Day Adventist private school this past Saturday was forced to forfeit its Class 1A Boys’ Northeast Regional Basketball Semi-Finals game after the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) failed to grant the team a religious accommodation in scheduling. I'm so proud of the young black high school students at Oakwood Adventist Academy. These young men stood their ground and would not back down. Seventh-Day Adventists follow very strict religious rules. One of which is the strict observance of the sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Oakwood’s varsity boys had their best season in school history. Just a few years ago the boy's team had a winless season. This year’s team was set to play Saturday at 4:30pm. The school reached out to the Alabama High School Athletic Association

  A woman is in prison after she admitted to stealing more than half a million dollars from a church in Texas. Lavelle Wilson was the executive assistant for Bishop David & Dr. Claudette Copeland. She had worked at New Creation Christian Fellowship for over 30 years and oversaw two of the church’s bank accounts. New Creation’s Executive Committee conducted a review of financial reports and expenses in 2019 and discovered Wilson had been taking money since 2014. Wilson would delay in turning over financial records and it wasn’t until the church saw the records they discovered something wasn’t adding up. In total, Wilson stole about $667,542 which she used to pay for her trip to Hawaii, shopping sprees, dining at expensive restaurants, fast food, personal loan payments, and cell phone payments. She also withdrew cash and has not paid the church back, according to officials.

So this 20year old Youtube Youth Pastor post has gone viral after he takes to social media to tell the world that he waited 4 years for his girlfriend to turn 18years old.  He’s boldly celebrating on social media that he groomed her beginning when she was a 14-year-old minor in the church. I so deeply hope and pray that eyes are being opened to what has been going on for decades. For decades it has been the norm to take a young man put him through a denominational Bible college for 4 years. Then ship him off to some church to take over a youth group.  Normally this young man has been indoctrinated with the extreme poison of the purity culture and complimentary. The horrible results of this cycle are staggering. Sexual perversion sexual assault and abuse is rampant and this issue is absolutely a part of the equation that has led to this disaster. For some reason, within evangelical Christianity, the leadership is constantly trying to charm their young people into staying. So they

So, this happened at a Christian school. School administrators were charged for failing to report a sexual assault at a school event. Undoubtedly trying to avoid scandal for the school.  I will add that every minister who neglects to report sexual abuse should be arrested and prosecuted. You can do your internal investigations AFTER you have reported to the police. Social change comes slowly, but slowly things are changing.  Five people were in jail after Midland Police made arrests at Midland Christian School Wednesday morning. According to the Midland Police Department, three administrators and two coaches at Midland Christian School were arrested and charged with Failure To Report With Intent To Conceal Neglect Or Abuse. "According to the affidavit, Ellis told investigators that the school was notified of the assault on January 21. Ellis told the detective that Lee asked McClendon, identified as the Athletic Director, and Counts, identified as the Vice Principal of the Second

These folks are bat crazy! So one of the men in this right-wing church group Bob Barth died from his battle with COVID.....the church is claiming before his death that the member was being held hostage against his will.....and according to the church group, and was being forced to receive Dr. Fauci's death protocol and refused the family's request to use Dr. Bartlett’s BUDESONIDE Protocol. On Friday, Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma filed a restraining order against Daniel Navejas, the founder, and leader of the Christian church called the Ekklesia of Oklahoma.  According to online sources, Navejas has been harassing workers at Mercy Hospital on social media and has threatened a doctor who works there so that he, “his wife, and their small children are in fear for their lives.   My thing is why take your friend to a hospital at all if you truly believe they are murders? Doctors and nurses never want a patient to die.     

So in 2022 we still have problems with qualified people being in high positions? I remember once upon a time, not too long ago the color of one's skin was used to hold a person back from getting a job that they were definitely qualified for.   President Joe Biden has appointed Sam Brinton(they/them)an outspoken drag queen and "queer activist", to oversee spent fuel and waste in the nuclear energy office of the Department of Energy.  They are a dual Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from MIT and the Technology and Policy Center.  Times are changing and it's starting to become a world where what is in your head is more important than what is on it, and where you are going is more important than the shoes you wear to your destination. I am all for it.   According to a biography on Brinton from the LGBTQ Religious Archives Network (LGBTQ-RAN), he holds a dual Master’s degree from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in engineering systems, and nuclear scien

Tell us you hate women without saying you hate women. I say men should never ever dictate to women what they should or shouldn't wear. A pastor and father of five from Ogden, Utah, was trolled on social media last week after he tried to school women over the kind of photos they should post. In an extremely sexist tweet, Brian Sauvé noted, "Dear Ladies, There is no reason whatsoever for you to post pictures of yourself in low cut shirts, bikinis, bra, and underwear, or anything similar—ever. Not to show your weight loss journey. Not to show your newborn baby. Not to document your birth story. -Your Brothers."  I love the below post from Partick Weaver Ministries, it says it all for me.   

I read several online comments about this. Many believe he possibly is calling out women that are getting ready to step forward and reveal truthful information on him. He is bearing false witness on them trying to discredit them before they expose him. This reeks of how leaders (people of power) try to control a narrative. Highly manipulative and cult-like. He did leave his first wife for his current wife.   The offering was over and the worship team at Global Vision Bible Church had just finished singing “Oh How I Love Jesus” when the Rev. Greg Locke began telling his church about his conversations with demons. Those demons, he said, had revealed the names of a group of “full-blown, spell-casting” witches who’d been sent to infiltrate Global Vision, a nondenominational church east of Nashville, Tennessee, where Locke is pastor.  "To God be the glory, I lie not,”  he told the congregation at Global Vision on Sunday (Feb. 13), which was meeting in a packed tent on the church’s pro

The pastor of a Catholic church in Phoenix incorrectly performed thousands of baptisms over more than 20 years by changing one word in the ritual, a church investigation found.  “I deeply regret my error,”  said the pastor, who has resigned. The Rev. Andres Arango was leading a baptism at St. Gregory Catholic Church in Phoenix last year when some people in the pews heard a slight variation in the religious ritual. “We baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”  Father Arango said, his voice echoing in the church as he poured the holy water. But there was a problem. Saying “we baptize” was incorrect.  The Vatican instructs priests to say “I baptize,” and if it is not said that way the baptism is deemed invalid. Church leaders investigated and determined last month that Father Arango had incorrectly performed thousands of baptisms over more than 20 years, meaning those he had baptized in Phoenix and at his previous parishes in Brazil and San Diego

The Rev. Bryan Massingale is often at odds with official Catholic teaching -- he supports the ordination of women and making celibacy optional for Catholic clergy. And, as a gay man, he vocally disagrees with the church’s doctrine on same-sex relations. Few U.S. Catholic priests are African American or publicly gay. Bryan Massingale is both, and he is using his platform as a priest and professor to teach about racial injustice and urge the Catholic Church to be more welcoming to LGBTQ people. Massingale says the church is not doing enough to tackle racism within its ranks, which he believes is a leading factor in the exodus of Black people to other Christian denominations.  

Gospel Singer Albert J. Lewis charged for sex act on a man as part of ‘Physical Exam.  According to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, the 75-year-old gospel singer from Newark has been charged Thursday with criminal sexual contact, unlicensed practice of medicine, and luring of an adult.⁠ ⁠ A 41-year-old Congolese national claims Albert J. Lewis promised him a job with New Jersey Transit, then directed him to a specific address, which later was Lewis’s home.⁠ ⁠ Afterward, prosecutors claim the defendant told the victim he would have to undergo a physical to ensure his fitness for the job.⁠

I never really knew what to make of all the versions of the Bible. I can understand the benefit of having various versions to emphasize understanding English concepts especially when we take into consideration the many ways in which the English language changes so rapidly. I was given a New American Standard many years ago as a gift from a friend and I guess I’m just used to reading it. Anyhow, why would Bible Gateway remove Brian Simmons The Passion Translation from its online sources? The only real answer is Bible Gateway has examined the Passion Translation Bible and found it not to be an actual Bible translation. The Passion Translation is not just a new translation; it is a new text, and its authority derives solely from its creator. Like Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon, Brian Simmons has created a new scripture with the potential to rule as canon over a new sect.   According to folks who know about translating the Bible, they're claiming that Simmons took the Liberty to c

The Black church exists all over the world and provides healing, support, and strength to Black communities during times of pain and anguish. A new study of Black and Latino Christians has found they often turn to their pastors for mental health care and information on mental health resources. Unfortunately, those clergy reported they feel ill-equipped to offer the help their congregants need. The study " Where Would You Go? Race, Religion, and the Limits of Pastor Mental Health Care in Black and Latino Congregations" which interviewed churchgoers in Houston, Texas, was recently published in the Journal Religions.  

This has got to be one of the most HORRIFYING talks I have EVER HEARD in my life. He bashes literally every minority and every other religion. Like it just kept getting worse and worse. Not to mention how incredibly flippant and arrogant it was. Why did black people have the priesthood taken away after waiting the same time frame and having received it? What had the church disavowed the racist theories preached as reasons for the priesthood and temple ban? Instead of asking 'why did the blacks have to wait until 1978?', maybe we should be asking why did the whites and other races have to wait until 1829?" Any adult with integrity would have stood up and walked out of that chapel right there. What an arrogant, stupid thing to say. A Latter-day Saint leader is apologizing after making controversial comments about race during a youth fireside that was broadcast on Zoom: "How come the Blacks didn't get the priesthood until 1978?" He said during the meeting. &q

According to the AP Press, retired Pope Benedict XVI asked forgiveness Tuesday for any “grievous faults” in his handling of clergy sex abuse cases, but denied any personal or specific wrongdoing after an independent report criticized his actions in four cases while he was archbishop of Munich, Germany. Asking, if there were no wrongdoings committed, then why would he be asking for any forgiveness? Of course, he didn't admit to no wrongdoing, church lawyers aren't stupid, and one of the highest rules of being a good defendant is to never admit guilt. But, hey, at least they're making progress! It took 2000 years for a pope to apologize for the Crusades. 

How can you spiritually lead a flock when you are in desperate need yourself? That's just inappropriate, and that's not something you just get over in 6 weeks. The fact that he can't see that is a sign to me that he hasn't fully dealt with what is going on...I wish him the best. He needs help, he doesn't need to be on stage.  Anyhow, according to Julie Roys,  Tennessee megachurch pastor Tavner Smith returned to the pulpit at Venue Church in Chattanooga on Sunday—six weeks after allegations surfaced that Smith had engaged in an adulterous affair and eight of his staff quit. In a short statement read to the congregation, Smith apologized for engaging in an “inappropriate relationship” without noting specifics. “You all are very well aware that I’m not perfect. But I do love God with my whole heart and I do love you. There’s no excuse for my behaviors and the hurts I’ve caused. But I believe there is healing in walking out a brand-new season.” Dr. Julia Dahl, an image

  This is why I have always loved, supported, and respected India Arie… I heard them snippets from Joe Rogan, and I don’t blame her.  Yes, he has every right to say what he wants to say on his big podcast. But I’m sorry; the dude is using the N-word in those excerpts with ease and with no repercussions. Please watch the entire thing because the clips of Joe Rogan saying “nigger” repeatedly is just astonishing. Her point regarding Spotify (and others) using the content of Black creatives to pay people like him is valid and a necessary discussion that needs to be had.

 As tax season gets underway, the IRS has announced that it will require facial recognition if you would like to sign in to your IRS account on the website. This is not a necessity as of now, so no need to panic. BUT, it's a reminder of what's to come. I have so many questions... First - facial rec isn't THERE yet... it's like autopilot- it just doesn't work, especially for people of color. So if your computer doesn't recognize your face, like my phone will do 3 times out of ten, now all of a sudden you're flagged by the IRS.  Second - not everyone has access to computers - what does this mean for everyone who doesn't have access? What the heck do they do in the rural parts of America with no WiFi? Third - IF this was so important for the government to be sure that You are YOU ... why not roll this out when scammers were ripping off the stimulus program by pretending to be other people?!?!?!?!!?!?   Online tax filers in the United States will soon b

A former pastor Eric Tuininga, 44, from Milledgeville, Georgia who was conducting missionary work in Uganda has pleaded guilty before Chief U.S. District Judge Marc T. Treadwell for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old Ugandan girl under the care of his church. He and his wife have nine children, three are adopted with the adopted daughter coming from Uganda.  Tuininga faces a maximum of 30 years in prison to be followed by a term of supervised release up to life and a maximum $250,000 fine. In addition, Tuininga will have to register as a sex offender upon his release from federal prison. There is no parole in the federal system. Sentencing has been scheduled for May 3, 2022.   “ Eric Tuininga used his trusted position as a pastor to sexually assault a young Ugandan girl in his care. This was a challenging case, but law enforcement worked diligently to ensure that Tuininga did not escape justice for his crime overseas,” said U.S. Attorney Peter D. Leary. “ The U.S. Attorney’s Office, alo

A Texas woman is accused of straddling her mom in what she called a “prayer position,” suffocating her in November, authorities said. Gloria Ann Jordan, 41, of Wichita Falls, was arrested Tuesday and charged with manslaughter, according to Wichita County Jail online booking records. Jordan is accused of the Nov. 21, 2021, death of Gloria Equila Farmer Jordan, 70, the Star-Telegram of Fort Worth reported. According to her obituary, Gloria Farmer Jordan was a pastor and the mother of Gloria Ann Jordan.  

In my opinion, the sheriff just snitched on himself for having something to do with it. Half of a mill and you’re a sheriff… that money most likely came from those boys' families to make sure they never get caught. Aren’t one of the parents an FBI agent or something like that?  There is no way that this young man accidentally died. Imagine being so comfortable with your ability as the authority that you gaslight people and can gesture $500k.  After being called a liar, a south Georgia sheriff offers to pay $500,000 of his own money to anyone that could prove he is not telling the truth about his findings regarding the death of a Black high school athlete nine years ago. The parents of the deceased child have rejected official reports that say their son’s death was an accident. Lowndes County Sheriff Ashley Paulk released a statement saying he would give half a million to anyone that provides information that can lead to an arrest and conviction in the death of Kendrick Johnson.

Gospel singer Kierra Sheard is getting dragged on social media after she tells Page Six in an interview that when her girlfriends come to visit she makes them stay at a hotel so that her husband isn’t tempted to have sex with them. “ My momma has already told me don’t have too many people around your house… I don’t care how good you trust them or whatever it is, I’m very mindful and careful. I would buy a friend a hotel room before I let them stay at my house, ” she told us.    Sheard married landscaper Jordan Kelly on Dec. 12, 2020, in their hometown of Detroit “Am I supposed to let them into my home? Because we as believers, we believe that what we have we are supposed to share with others but I’m not sharing my man,” she told us, “Since I’m not sharing my man, I have to be cautious with everything else that I share as far as with him being there too.” “I think it’s such a thing as boundaries. Some friends don’t know that balance and can’t understand the balance,” she added. What

Church I attended school in the deep south of Alabama. We read SEVERAL of these as REQUIRED by the school system. Now they are banned? Really? Perhaps it's time to closely investigate the people on the committees, in EVERY county across this county, who make these decisions.? No adult who read these books in their youth would ban them. By definition, uneducated people are leading this attack on knowledge.  I wonder how those wanting to ban books, feel about the attempts of others to ban books. In China, reading banned books or even mentioning freedom of religion can land one in prison. "Land of the free" for whom? Keep in mind, these are the same individuals who scream at the top of their lungs when Facebook removes their post because they CLAIM they do not believe in censorship. They don't want freedom of speech for everyone; just them. They are the worst of hypocrites. And, at the heart of the matter is their need to silence the voices of minorities, period.

 The same people who attack Lecrae for championing social justice and not quoting scripture from beginning to end in his songs are upset about him dropping a questionable artist from his label. Predatory men using the name of Jesus to hide their perversion is nothing new in the Christian world. The latest example of this unsavory practice has allegedly emerged at Reach Records—an American independent record label specializing in Christian hip hop, co-founded by rapper, Lecrae Moore. Gawvi, real name Gabriel Alberto Azucena, has been dropped by his label, Reach, and kicked off an upcoming tour after being accused of sending unsolicited, sexually explicit photos to women. In a statement obtained by EEW Magazine Online , a representative for Reach said, “Due to behavior that is inconsistent with our core values, we have ended our professional relationship with GAWVI. This was a tough decision for us because of the level of complexity and because we invest in our artists not just for th

Church regardless of how the white media tries to spin her words she was not wrong at all. Whoopi Goldberg has the right to be unhappy about being suspended from the View, she is thinking about quitting altogether.  She said she followed their stupid rules by going on a late show to apologize saying she stands corrected and she apologized again on the View and they suspended her anyways. She’s over this. I don't understand the controversy. She said because the Nazis and Jews were both white European groups, the holocaust in Germany was more about Religious persecution than racial persecution. And yes the Jewish people have been horribly persecuted for their beliefs for centuries. Like during the "Spanish inquisition" and before. But what I don't understand is, if European Jews don't identify as white. How do they want to be classified? I would have made this same mistake. Source Here

Church this is the first time since the CIVIL WAR that the TN Senate expels a senator, they expel a Black woman. How fitting of Tennessee. Senator Katrina Robinson’s legal case has not been resolved & the Senate refused due process. Meanwhile, Brian Kelsey is CURRENTLY indicted on millions of $$ in misuse and was allowed to vote on this. What you all do to Black women in office is disgusting. I stand with Katrina Robinson because I know the energy that is put forth to destroy us for having the gall to be in your chambers, the arrogance to have a voice, and the audacity to lead.

Church join me in giving a hand clap of praise for Bishop Talbert W. Swan II...who has been appointed as jurisdictional bishop of the Greater Vermont Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Church of God in Christ, expanding the responsibilities of the Springfield-based minister. Bishop Swan will now oversee churches in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. He will also promote the vision of the international church, which has more than 6.5 million members, support local pastors, and ordain and license clergy, according to an announcement from Bishop J. Drew Sheard, presiding bishop of the nation’s largest Pentecostal denomination. Bishop Swan has risen through the ranks of the Church of God in Christ, which has members in 110 countries. In June, he was installed as assistant general secretary and director of social justice for the organization. He has also served as the jurisdictional bishop of Nova Scotia, Canada, since June 2016.

Church longtime The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended by network execs for misguided comments she made about the Holocaust. Somewhere Meghan McCain is sitting cackling, saying gotcha.  Maybe I need to be educated. Is it a race or a religion? I can understand the technicality of her being right. However, Judaism is considered a race by most of white society and we know this. Whenever we talk about Jews we talk about them and treat them as a race of people(even though they are not) So she is kinda wrong. Mainly because even during Hitler's reign they did not persecute Jews because of what they believed in, but because of who they were and their status in German society.     You Can Read It Here:    

Church Don Cornelius is being accused of holding hostage 2 playboy bunnies in his home where they were tied up in separate rooms and sexually assaulted. They were released after 3days.
