Jimmy Kimmel sparks COGIC Church Response To Gay Bashing Remarks But Refuses To Respond To Their 20-

LOUISIANA, Mo. - Nov. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Bishop Charles E. Blake the senior pastor of the West Angeles Church of God In

Christ (COGIC), in Los Angeles, recently apologized to the public on the “homophobic” remarks by

Rev. Earl Carter during the 107 Holy Convocation at St. Louis,Missouri, on November 8, 2014. The

said statement & event went viral with Jimmy Kimmel even spoofing it, on late night television.

The leaders of the COGIC denomination stressed that they found the statement “disrespectful, harsh

and uncompassionate." According to the Bishop Clark, their church teaching is reflective of love and

compassion to the Lord, and the church does not in any way compromise the biblical position

against same-sex union.

While COGIC vehemently despite the homophonic statements, the church has yet to recognize the

descendants and the true believers of the church. COGIC is not spared from any injustice from

within. For over 20 years now, the church refuses to respond the issues sexual immorality &

multiple of of wedlock children by their former Presiding Bishop: James O. Patterson, Sr.

Benjamin Jimerson Philips in his book ‘Prodigal Son, Child of The King’, accused the church

Leadership of a cover up of Bishop Patterson’s sex abuse & refusing to acknowledge the identity of

the children of the late J.O Patterson Sr. In Benjamin’s blog, he stated that the church’s General

Board covered up the late Patterson Sr.’s shortcomings. Further, Benjamin stressed that they were

born out of wedlock making them illegitimate children and that the church teaches living right but

won’t apply these standards for so long the church denied them of their rights.

In the sworn affidavits furnished by Sarastine Richey, the great-grand daughter of Bishop C.H.

Mason, founder of COGIC and John F.Wheeler, (Grandson of J.O. Patterson) fully acknowledged

Benjamin Jimerson Phillips, as the child of the former Presiding Bishop J.O Patterson Sr. Further, it

stated that the siblings were long been “denied and ignored by the National Church and its

Leadership, because of their fear it would affect their Multi Millions Dollars Annual Tax Free

Income.

This 20-year-old feud continues to imprint a negative mark on the church of god in christ

organization, where its former leader Patterson committed multiple acts of adultery, and

forgiveness seems indefinable. As the COGIC continues to preach restoration, forgiveness and

reconciliation, the children of the late Bishop Patterson Sr, who love God, continue their quest for in

their church and the amendment of the church history and to acknowledge them as the children of

Bishop J.O Patterson Sr, to publicly share the great heritage and legacy left by their father.
