![]() ![]() Rather, they are PROPHETS OF PROFIT who praised the President for being ” … the most pro-active administration regarding urban America and the faith-based community in my lifetime” ” … the most pro-Black president I’ve seen in my lifetime” and ” … have given this country expectations, given us a new hope … ” while neglecting all of the unjust executive orders and policies of this President and his administration, such as the travel ban on Muslims to this country the intentional separation of children from their parents at the southern border and according to U.S. We conclude that they are not PROPHETS OF THE LORD. We question, “Who are welcomed at the President’s Table?” “Who are not welcomed at the President’s Table?” “What is served at the President’s Table?” “What is accomplished at the President’s Table?” The voices, concerns and needs of those who are not welcomed at the President’s Table were not represented by the Pastors who sat at the President’s Table, for whereas they had their own private supper with the President, many in our community remain hungry and humiliated. We who are called by God to sit at and administer the elements of the Lord’s Table were offended and appalled by those who were called to sit at and acquiesce to Donald Trump at the President’s Table. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter! – I Corinthians 11: 17 NN Whereas, there are no divisions in Jesus the Christ who unites us in one Lord, one faith and one baptism with the pastors who sat at the President’s Table, the differences that we will illuminate in this letter will reveal those who possess God’s approval.Ģ0 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval. On Wednesday, August 1, 2018, several Black pastors were invited to the White House by President Trump to sit at his table for the President’s “Meeting with Inner City Pastors.” In concert with the Apostle Paul’s rebuke in I Corinthians 11: 17, we have no praise for the Black pastors who attended this meeting, and believe that their meeting did more harm than good.ġ8 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. – 1 Corinthians 11: 17 NN President Trump hosted a meeting with inner city pastors on August 1, 2018. ![]() If approved, this would mean that the school could hire its own staff but would be subject to periodic review by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. Childs said the plan calls for the building to be the site of a non-instrumentality MPS charter school. “We see this as a much needed resource in the community to assist with the development of children and seniors,” Childs said, defining ”community” as the surrounding neighborhood. Childs said he does not expect the school to be running until at least the 2023-’24 school year, but that other programs may be phased in before then. Martin Childs, said Pilgrim Rest has a “five-point vision” for the building, which he says will function as a K4-fifth grade school, community gathering center, performing arts center, adult learning center and will host summer youth learning programs the church already organizes. Rhonda Szallai, real estate specialist at the Milwaukee Department of City Development, said the church will spend an additional $475,000 on renovating the building. The Common Council approved the sale of the former Frederick Douglass Elementary School to Pilgrim Rest for $160,000 earlier this month. The building was formerly operated by MPS as Frederick Douglass School. Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church, pictured here, has bought a neighboring building and plans to reopen it as a school. ![]()
