During this discussion of the State of The Black Church, there was much emphasis on the "mega-church" and the prosperity gospel phenomena. It's centered around preachers who make the claims that bringing money to the altar will fix all your problems, i.e. "If you sow $20 seed right now, God will put a brand new Benz in your driveway....eh. Also, this video dissects the whole idea around preachers who perpetuate ignorance from the pulpit due to a lack of theological training, given at seminaries. Finally, it also deals with AIDS and how the black church should handle it, the discourse between the mega preacher (Bishop Noel Jones) & the prophet (Dr. Jeremiah Wright) is very interesting because of their similar sentiments on these issues. It's also interesting how much of this foolishness is still going on in churches today, more so now than ever....feel free to comment, dialogue, and share as well as subscribe.

Paul Morton, Marvin Winans, Michael Eric Dyson, and Dr. Gardner C. Taylor were also featured on this panel.
