Near closing time in the dining room of St. Louis’ Gateway Hotel last week, six customers were lingering over their table. “Why don’t you boys get out so I can go home?” said the white woman cashier. Unfortunately, the “boys” happened to be delegates to the annual conference of the National Committee of Black Churchmen, which was being held in the hotel. In protest against what they considered a racial slight, the 400 black ministers attending the meeting stalked out of the Gateway and finished their convention in an Episcopal church. The incident typified not only the touchy militancy of the conference but, in general, the mood of Negro Christian clergymen who enthusiastically support the contemporary secular demand for Black Power. Black caucuses have been formed within most of the major denominations to lobby for greater Negro participation in ecclesiastical decision making.

Many of the churches have tried hard to answer these demands. Last year, for example, the United Church of Christ elected the Rev. Joseph Evans of Chicago, a Negro, as its denominational secretary. The United Methodist Church has assigned black bishops to predominantly white areas of Iowa and New Jersey, and even to one district which encompasses parts of Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. Last month the Rev. Richard Owens, pastor of the People’s Baptist Church in the black ghetto of Boston’s Roxbury area, was elected president of the Massachusetts Baptist Convention.

White Reluctance. Even so, the Black Power movement within the churches exists more in fancy than fulfillment. One reason for this is that Negroes constitute an extremely small minority within most denominations: despite its progressive policies on race, the 2,000,000-member United Church is only 2% black. Another problem, particularly for those churches which emphasize lay authority, is that the majority of white congregations still tend to be reluctant to accept a black minister in the pulpit, even when a well-qualified one is available. As a result, many Negro clergymen are turning away from the goal of parish-level integration and are focusing their attention on the revitalization of all-black congregations.

At the St. Louis meeting, composed largely of black caucus representatives, a number of speakers suggested that a major goal should be the creation of a fully developed black theology. Among other things, this theology might in-clude the relation of the struggles of the Negro to the Biblical experience of the Jews as God’s chosen people, and the black man’s demand for justice to Jesus’ ethical teachings. It might also justify, on a more practical level, the artistic presentation of Christ as black— something that has been done in a number of Negro parishes.

A more sophisticated black Christianity, it was argued, would transform the Negro’s religion, which since slavery days has been based on the hope of salvation in the hereafter, into a faith more relevant to his present social and economic concerns. This ideal was supported by Ron Karenga, Los Angeles leader of the black nationalist US, who accused churches of foisting “spookism” on his soul brothers. “Spookism,” he explained acidly, “means believing you’re going to fly away without the necessary means of transportation.”

Honkified Deity. Dr Nathan Wright Jr., an Episcopal priest from Newark, told the meeting that blacks must get rid of the “honkified God” who, he charged, has been imposed on Negroes by white Christians. The Rev. Herbert Bell Shaw, a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and president of the committee, called on the group to evolve “a message and a dynamic leadership for the peculiar and urgent needs of the black people.” The present religious task, added the Rev. Melvin Talbert, a Methodist district superintendent in California, “is to help black people find themselves, to restore to the black man a sense of dignity and pride.” Once this is achieved, suggests Talbert, the time will have come “to move across racial barriers—if we want to.” source: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,723872-1,00.html

Note: How Far Behind does the consciouss so-called movement have to be when modernday politicians have taken up the torch currently owned by the so-called conscious.

The unconscious Malcolm, MLKingJr, Garvey and all the rest of them did more for the black people as a whole than any modern conscious people have ever done., The Conscious crowd always flys under the radar when it comes to actual affects here on the physical plane. Which they know is the lowest vibratory rate there is.

They should be a shamed or not mastering physical science befor tryna jump to the eso side, but dey not , so lets move on.

Example of conscious people left behind timing, there are so many , but lemme just do a few examples: The conscious movement is to have us be Gods on Earth.     Well, It hasn’t happened yet, But here in this highly mainstream paper is an actual movement on the part of the unconscious blacks in politics making a literal move against the white Jesus.

On the other Hand we have the Black Conscious, people who know that the black woman still exists evrmore and enternal, who have not grown a feather havent flown anywhere and have yet to even confess, physically That Orhemah In Real Black Woman Form Is #1, in contrast unconsciouss people , people whov never even heard of Orhemah is moving towards the consciouss playing feild/without even knowing it, that is what you call esoteric affects.

Take Step back And look at yourself, yourself.

And ask yurself would God have such a mosquito effect on her people or would they already be up and out of this place they like to call earth as they pleased.

You Guys are seriously lagging Behind,  forget when they tell you we come into conscioussnes in different stages and evrbody different, dont believe it—-it’s callled movement for a reason it has to be vibratory, not rhetoric, the only reason people start off at different frequencies is because Orhemah does not want people to fall for the Conscious Movement As a Whole. In that people constantly jump from ideals to ideas from thoughts to actions within different conscious concepts.

Hello is anybody there ?
