BLM activist to start ‘politically active’ Christian denomination to address ‘black suffering’
The Blaze ^ | 12-19-2017 | Aaron Colen

A Black Lives Matter activist and Christian minister is starting a new denomination with the purpose of spreading the gospel in a way that addresses “black suffering,” according to The Christian Post.

Who is the founder?

Jomo Kenyatta Johnson is a minister from Savannah, Georgia.

He has a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies from Beacon University and a Master of Divinity from Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia. What’s the denomination about?

Johnson’s denomination will be called Church for Black Men.

Some of the unique tenets of the denomination include:

The denomination will never collect tithes and offerings, to avoid perceptions of greed. They will not be a tax-exempt organization, so that the church can endorse or speak out against political candidates.

The church will “unapologetically address issues of black suffering,” which Johnson says haven’t been “properly translated in corporate church culture.”

Johnson said despite his previous work with Black Lives Matter, the church would not be directly affiliated with BLM, and he would be stepping away from BLM to focus on the Church for Black Men.

I don't think this man understands that a church that doesn't have Christ as its raison d'être is not Christian.

Unless he plans to preach the forgiveness of white slave owners, he isn’t really addressing black suffering.
Unless he plans to preach the need for education and job training, he isn’t really addressing black suffering.
Unless he plans to preach a return to Biblical morality, and the need for chastity before marriage and a profound respect for marriage, he isn’t really addressing black suffering.
Unless he plans to preach that moral problems cannot be cured with money, and morality is the root of black suffering, he isn’t really addressing black suffering.
This will be interesting.

Isn’t that just a tad, shall we say, racist? The dude is clueless.
Imagine if some guy started one called Church for White Men. Do you think it would fly?

I believe you hit the nail on the head. I haven’t seen a doctrinal statement from the dude, but something tells me, I really don’t need to.

99% of black suffering is due to other black people.

I don’t think a Klan meeting could have come up with a more racist sounding first name. Jomo?

Whatever. Why is this even news?

He does know that his racist "church" isn't going to be eligible for public assistance, right?
