The Black Church Had It Coming!

Professor Horace L. Griffin, a seminarian and priest as well as an openly Gay Black man, yanks the covers off of Black Christian bigotry in this hard-hitting book. It is nothing less than an indictment of the Black church. I strongly recommend it, and I hope Oprah Winfrey will choose to showcase it as an Oprah's Book Club selection. It could cause a sensation greater than JL King's controversial book about closeted Black men, "On The Down Low." Nothing better could happen!
