Hey, Al & Jesse - stick this where the sun don't shine!!!

Blacklash!

Members of the black leadership network Project 21 are speaking out against the efforts by some left-leaning black religious leaders to politicize black houses of worship.

Aren't they at least half a century too late?

At the "National Conference and Revival for Social Justice in the Black Church" held in Dallas last week, Reverends Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Joseph Lowery exhorted the leaders of black churches to reorient themselves and their congregations to fight for social justice issues instead of addressing moral issues such as homosexuality and abortion.

Sounds like someone is getting a bit worried.

[Jaysun]

Too late.

Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele should be front and center on speaking out more. People need to be aware of his treatment by democrats, Schumer's stealing of his records and his wife's.

Another item could be a blessing in disquise for many, why Jesse and Sharpton has dropkicked Qwasi Mfume to the curb.

"It's wrong for Jackson and Sharpton to tell ministers how to conduct their ministry. Clearly, they are trying to convert religious leaders into lobbyists for their self-serving political agenda," said Project 21 senior fellow Deneen Moore. "Black ministers should not serve at the altar of their divisive rhetoric. Black churches should reinforce the importance of a strong nuclear family unit which will yield economic benefits and moral values that will elevate blacks in society."

What do you know?

Some one in the black community sees these two rabble rousers for what they are and is not afraid to say it on the record.

Council Nedd, a bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Chesapeake. "With all due respect to Reverend Sharpton and the other ministers meeting in Dallas, my primary call as a minister of the Gospel is to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. My ministry is not beholden to any political establishment. On Judgment Day, I would rather it said of me that I won one soul for Christ, rather than I got one million people to the polls on Election Day."

Hallelujah

[Cinnamon]

you mean blck churches have not been politiczed yet? beam me up scotty! Black Churches are the only place where libs don't have a problem with separation of Church and State... imagine that

[siunevada]

Reverend Sharpton said he sought to mobilize black congregations to participate in the fall mid-term elections.

Gee, nothing wrong with participation.

.....it is time for [the] Christian right to meet the right Christians and begin the fight in the home state of our president.

Oh. I get it, Rev.

Jesus is a registered Democrat lobbyist.

He said He came to serve and you're just putting Him to work for the greater good. Very noble, Rev.

"Black ministers should not serve at the altar of their divisive rhetoric. Black churches should reinforce the importance of a strong nuclear family unit which will yield economic benefits and moral values that will elevate blacks in society."

Words spoken by a real leader!! JJ and AS should have been saying this all these years. They will never give in to this group but some are waking up and speaking out....finally.

I'm sure the MSN will be all over this. s/
