the Black Church is obviously as devoid of theology as the Armenian Church.

This is an inaccurate generalization. It depends on the congregation. I am white, and through my friendships I've been to two large majority AA churches around here (Maryland's population is 1/3 black) and they both have calm, quiet ministers who don't rant and sweat, but rather teach the Bible, week after week.

It's not the ranting and sweating I object to (that is a legitimate folk-style of preaching). It's adopting that style to preach Marxism (like Jim Jones did) that bothers me.

At any rate, I'm gratified to learn of your positive personal experience.
