I’ve never understood about “Reverend” Al Sharpton. Where is his church? In what denomination is he an ordained minister? Is he an ordained minister in any denomination, or it is racist to even ask?
Same questions about “Reverend” Jesse Jackson.
Money. Universal and totally Sharpton
He claims to be an assistant pastor at Bethany Baptist Church in Brooklyn, NY.
He is not mentioned on the Church's website.
In what denomination is he an ordained minister?
He claims he was ordained at the age of 10 in the Church of God in Christ, but that he later converted to the Progressive National Baptist Church and was ordained in that church by the former pastor of Bethany Baptist (who marched with MLK, etc., etc.).
So the answer seems to be that he may actually have been ordained (the COGIC process seems informal - though not necessarily informal enough to ordain a 10 year old) and he probably is a guest preacher at Bethany Baptist from time to time.
