Church News: The Bishop, The Blogger and The Community’s Response.

Church News: The Bishop, The Blogger and The Community’s Response.

By Candace L. Smith




In the next two seasons of Unfiltered we will discuss the church and community. I may end up references some of these viral moments in the black community regarding clergy. In this video I share my thoughts about the Bishop that was robbed at gunpoint during his church service. He went viral because the robbery happened on live stream and at the time the Bishop was wearing over 400,000 worth of jewels.

The community began to speculate if the robbery was real pointing out various things they felt like didn’t make sense such as the camera movement, the words the Bishop was speaking at the beginning of his sermon right before the robbery, the way the young man casually sat in the corner and didn’t get down and the amount of jewelry the Bishop was wearing.

The Bishop ended up going on the news and the community picked apart his interviews and commentators and bloggers online began to further speculate if the robbery was real and digging into the Bishops past and background. They discovered he had a record and bloggers began to spill tea about the Bishops scandals. One blogger and commentator Larry Reid Live who is known for discussing Black preachers and clergy has gone viral several times for his interviews with black gospel legends and scandals and controversies.

He hopped online and went live from his Instagram inviting a female pastor to join him in discussing the “robbery”. It was clear they did not believe in the robbery so they began to discuss the entire robbery questioning the decor of the church and everything that was public information. During the live the Bishop requested to join and began to say how upset he was that Larry discussing the robbery. They have a past and people in common and have met and the Bishop felt personally attacked by the comments.

Larry made light of the comments he was making and declared that he was helping the Bishop and the conversation went left. The Bishop started saying very inappropriate things towards Larry and the woman. Since that conversation the Bishop continues to have interviews and go live. Larry continues to expose the Bishop for owing other parishioners money and uncovering fraud and theft and reading public records online.
It’s a holy hot mess and here’s my thoughts. 💁🏽‍♀️

If You Asked Me To

You ever heard a song and it fit your current relationship story perfectly?  That's how it was when I rediscovered Patti LaBelle's, "If You Asked Me To."   LaBelle, released this song in 1989 from her album, Be Yourself . I remember hearing the Celine Dion version as well and falling in love with the song all over again.  Celine Dion is another artist who has hits! I love the way she covers Jennifer Rush's, " The Power of Love. " It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that "If You Asked Me To" began to represent a moment in my love life. I was dating a guy, and we were in the car driving to his family's house because they all lived on one block.  They would all gather together on the weekend to play cards and cookout and all the kids could play freely and random games would start, and it was a lot of fun.   I loved that he enjoyed spending time with his extended family, and I could see that his nieces and nephews really loved him and enjo

I Could Fall In Love

 I Could Fall In Love - The "Seductive Romantic Confessional" I became familiar with the American singer "Selena" Quintanilla after the movie about her life was released in 1997.  I remember watching it at home and being glued to the television from beginning to end.  While watching the movie I learned that this song was the first song to crossover into the American billboard and that she sung in English. I like this song because it is so relatable.  I believe that many of us have stumbled into relationships where we realize suddenly that there could be more, and it could be great but then you question should it be?  This song sings innocently about the first moments in love when all is new, and you are wondering what it could be.   I love how this song is described as a "seductive romantic confessional.  I would not have described it as a "seductive" until I translated the words that Selena speaks midways in the song.  "I'm always dreaming o
