Slightly off topic, and I’m obviously no expert in churches (or mosque or whatever Farakhan has), but it strikes me that there are a lot more discussions of things political in churches/mosque has than a typical synagogue Shabbos service, for example.
I’ve been going to shul for a long time now, and except for a prayer for the welfare of the national government (generally in the nation in which you are residing) and its leaders, I can’t think of a time politicians ever get mentioned.
Is this a normal thing?
I think predominantly African-American churches are exempt from IRS prohibitions against political campaigning during services.
Farrakhan is almost all politics and morals. His sermons on homosexuality and women would get you banned from public life.
