Greater Grace Temple in Detroit wants to help out the government during the auto industry bailout. But how do they do it? Not by community outreach or fundraising, but by bringing big ass SUVs at the frakking altar!
"We have never seen as midnight an hour as we face this week," the Rev. Charles Ellis told several thousand congregants at a rousing service at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple. "This week, lives are hanging above an abyss of uncertainty as both houses of Congress decide whether to extend a helping hand."
Local car dealerships donated three hybrid SUVs to be displayed during the service, one from each of the Big Three. A Ford Escape, Chevy Tahoe from GM and a Chrysler Aspen were parked just in front of the choir and behind the pulpit.
This is...This is like reading Conan and there is some woman being sacrificed to some flower demon. If I was at that church, at that moment, it would have been the clearest of signs to get the hell out of there!

The Black Church could use it's function as the de facto Black community center to rally support like you said. This is just foolishness. I suppose praying with the cars right in front of you makes it a more powerful prayer than with them in the parking lot.
Ugh. The Black Church needs to get its act together.
