George Wood, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, is standing in solidarity with the Church of God in Christ, the nation’s largest black, Pentecostal denomination, to honor Black Lives Matter Sunday. Many AoG pastors are very distraught by Wood’s position, and for good reasons. His actions and words are an insult to the many black people that disagree with race-baiters such as Al Sharpton. It is an insult to law enforcement personnel whose lives are already at risk because of false claims of racial injustice. Wood also becomes complicit in supporting Michael brown and Eric Garner, two criminals who lost their lives resisting arrest. Finally, he links the denomination to the Black Lives Matter Movement, which supports race-baiting and is indicative of all that is wrong with race relations in our society. The BLM also supports LGBT, a position that no true Christian can accept. It is another decision in a long list of bad decisions by Wood failed leadership that widens the division in AoG members and brings the denomination closer to Emergent status. What a tragedy!
