The pastor of Alabama's largest megachurch said that he met with Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and promised to start a new branch of the church in one of the highest-crime areas of the city.


quote:

"We are going to launch a campus right in the heart of the highest crime of our entire city," Hodges said. "We are going to do a live service with live speaking and different music and it's going to be different in a lot of ways to meet the needs of that community."


Black pastor in Birmingham says it is racist to move a white church to a black neighborhood. He says that Church of the Highlands ultimate goal is to force blacks out of the suburb branches and back to the city.

That’s pretty cool they got New Era to pay for naming rights to the church

Black leaders will do anything to keep other black people on the plantation.

Even if it means bringing back segregation.

Since this is about Highlands, I have a question about Dino, who now works there at Highlands. What is the real story on this guy from La.? He seems like a sore spot to a lot of posters on here.

Dino is now over the Highlands ARC churches (lots of $ exchanging hands) and is like his main back-up preacher when Hodges travels all over preaching in places like Australia once a year for Hillsong Church.

All I know about Dino is he had an affair with someone behind his wife’s back. Anyone know what actually happened? How they got caught? I do know Church of the Highlands is pretty hush hush about it. All they basically say is it is done and over and none of anyone’s business. Must be, because not even Dino mentions it directly. He is very charismatic in the sense that most everyone who attends the church thinks he’s quite the comedian and they enjoy his sermons mostly for that aspect.

That black pastor is not a real man of God. He needs to spend more time in prayer and find out how much God loves ALL his children.

I wonder if it’s what Jesus wants

Somehow I don’t think racist segregation is part of God’s plan.

I always wonder why people go to non denominational churches, the Bible says Jesus was a baptist

It’s a good effort but you will never be able to clean up Birmingdump. The 1963’ers cling to the past.

That's basically what he did after the Tower of Babel.

I came here to see how long it took for this thread to become about Dino. I have an inherent distaste for: (1) any church who'd put Dino in any form of leadership, (2) race-baiting/obsessed churches of any form, and (3) the very idea of a megachurch. So this thread has it all.
