Three thieves were caught on tape barging into a Brooklyn church on Sunday where controversial bishop Lamor Whitehead — an ally to Mayor Adams — was preaching and snatched $400,000 worth of jewelry off of him and his wife.
Whitehead, the Rolls-Royce-driving bishop who recently tried to broker a deal for the surrender of a man accused of a subway murder to the mayor, was preaching at Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry on Remsen Ave. near Avenue D in Canarsie about 11:15 a.m. Sunday when three masked bandits stormed into the church, the pastor and cops confirmed.
When the armed marauders appeared, the stunned Whitehead, who was wearing a clerical collar, burgundy vestments with gold trim and a long gold necklace, stopped his sermon and crouched down, saying, “Yo, all right, all right, all right” as he lay on the floor, video obtained by the Daily News shows.
Only his legs and feet can be seen on the recording as he lay on the stage as the men bent over him and rifled his pockets.
The armed men, who can be seen in the video dressed in black and carrying handguns, removed the expensive bling from Whitehead and his wife, police and the bishop said.
Another man seen on the video sitting with what appears to be a prayer book watches impassively as the crime goes down.
The robbers took off in a white Mercedes-Benz and are still being sought, police said.

Reminds me of an old C.M. Russell painting of outlaws robbing a parson and this poem...
If Money’s the root of all evil,
Your Reverence is going to weed.
It’s the duty of a Saint,
Not a sinner,
To shake out your clothes,
For the seed!

And yes, I know it is “The love of money”...
They named it and claimed it.
The lord works in mysterious ways.
A great example of... “no honor among thieves”.
Caught on “tape?” Like VHS?
Graham?
Agreed. Insurance scam that they will get away with.
To my knowledge, Billy Graham never became wealthy, well off yes, but never flamboyant.
I was thinking about his son Franklin.
I way sure this way from the Babylon Bee
Good 1. Very odd.
