Black pastors support abortion as the justice of God?
Black Christians discuss how faith informs their stances on abortion
Pastor Michelle Higgins leads the congregation of St. John’s Church in St. Louis. While she said her journey with God is certainly far from over, she has “no complexities and no doubt that reproductive rights are part of God's justice.”
“I think of my mothers on the Middle Passage. Did my ancestors, who jumped off the side of the ship and threw their babies over, where are they at? Did they go to hell?” she said. “I will never believe that abortion is murder. I cannot.”
Divisive racist pastor wants separation. He is showing a non Christian attitude here. All pastors who play the race card are in serious error. And you see that in the things he says.
“We need spaces that have greater degrees of autonomy from the white gaze and white governance,” said Pastor Heber Brown III, of Pleasant Hope Baptist Church in Baltimore.
“The reality is that in our African American experience, our God is the god of the oppressed. We know God through a liberation struggle,” said Bishop Walter Scott Thomas Sr., of New Psalmist Baptist Church in Baltimore. “We sing, we shout, we dance, we praise God, we wave hands, we speak in tongues, we sing choir hymns, we have gospel, but our god is the god of liberation.”
As Pastor Brown sees it, Black Lives Matter and the Black church are natural allies. But he says history paints a different portrait of the partnership with the white church.
"White pastors made agreements with white slave owners," he said. "'We promise we'll tell them that their baptism means nothing here on earth.' And then that agreement, that pact, the white churches and the system of chattel slavery came into deep agreement that has long persisted."

Failure for any believer to accept other Christian believers as a brothers and sisters in Christ is indescribably wrong, and no doubt, the body of Christ is weaker today as a result of those past attrocities.
Today, there seems to be no getting over it. No one alive today had anything to do with American slavery.
To hear that a church and BLM are natural allies makes me wonder what that church must think of 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness
