Homophobic Harlem Pastor's Church up for Auction over Unpaid Debts

Best news I've heard this week!

https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160128/central-harlem/homophobic-pastors-harlem-church-up-for-public-auction-over-unpaid-debts



HARLEM — The church that thinks "Jesus would stone homos" is scheduled to be put up for public auction next month because its pastor hasn’t paid his debts.

A state judge ordered Atlah Worldwide Church to be sold at a public foreclosure auction after failing to pay creditors more than $1.02 million, court records show.

The Rev. James Manning said in a phone conversation with DNAinfo New York that the foreclosure was mostly over unpaid water and sewage bills and vowed to fight the order, claiming his church’s tax exempt status means he doesn’t have to pay.

“I assure you, it’s about a water bill and a tax that can’t be levied against this church,” Manning said. “I think it’s a land grab quite frankly.”

It's over, "Rev".

I would highly recommend EVERYONE point their browser to the Ali Forney's campaign website and donate to this worthy cause!!!

Every bit anyone can contribute is helpful and if we all care enough, it will not only help so many gay homeless kids but also send a much more powerful message of love than the ones currently being sent by this "pastor" on the marquee of his church.

So, go here:

and give!
