Concerned Pastors deliver blistering salvo at Councilman Scott Kincaid, City Council
Home»Features»Concerned Pastors deliver blistering salvo at Councilman Scott Kincaid, City Council
Posted on Oct 3, 2016
By Jan Worth-Nelson
A powerful consortium of Flint clergy, the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, a group which has consistently weighed in in support of Mayor Karen Weaver, today stood in the lobby of Flint City Hall and delivered a blistering salvo at the Flint City Council.
In particular, they directed their ire at Councilman Scott Kincaid, who Pastor Reginald Flynn of Foss Avenue Baptist Church said was engaging in “plantation politics” and should apologize. At least one speaker, later identified as not a pastor and who said he was speaking as a citizen and not for the Concerned Pastors, called for Kincaid to be recalled.

What set off the pastors, according to Pastor Allen Overton, who led the remarks, were comments reported in The Flint Journal Friday in which Kincaid said the council had tabled three motions at their Sept. 26 meeting to “teach the Mayor a lesson.”
According to Friday’s Flint Journal, Kincaid said, “…the mayor believes she can enact things without the approval from this legislative body,”
“I think that this council needs to send a loud and clear message to the mayor that she’s not a dictator,” the Flint Journal reported that Kincaid said.
Overton called Kincaid’s comments “unmerited, unwanted and unprecedented,” adding that “taking personal jabs at the Mayor of the City of Flint cannot be tolerated.”
“Our mayor is not some little slave girl,” Flynn said. “She is the chief executive officer of this city and her position demands our respect. And so what you have before you are several clergy who are standing in unity, crossing racial and denominational lines, and saying ‘enough is enough.’ Time out for the gamesmanship.”
Flynn added that Kincaid’s comments and the council’s actions had “descended into the depths of political immaturity.”
“The faith community is watching”
Amid a chorus of amens and “yeah, Reverend,” and “that’s right,” from those in the crowd, Flynn continued, “The faith community is very much watching, and are going to be very much involved in the process of ensuring that the mayor that WE elected is able to carry out her duties and functions as we have asked her to do through the electoral process. So we stand here in unity today informing the senior city councilman and those aligned with him, watch what you do.”
Pastor Herman Miller of Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle, who came to Flint 13 months ago from North Carolina, where he also served as a city council member, said since coming to Flint, what he has observed has been “frustrating, disheartening, and sometimes downright embarrassing.”
Miller called Flint’s city government “fractured and dysfunctional” and declared, “we have continued to digress and devolve into a cesspool of personality conflicts, incessant fighting and stagnation, and all this during a time that the citizens of Flint need us the most.
“It concerns me because people across the United States are watching what is going on in Flint, the people in Lansing are watching. Right now we are justifying the notion that we do not have the capacity to govern ourselves. The citizens of Flint need us standing together fighting for them and not fighting with one another.”
He said he wished he could “lock all of them up in a room somewhere” until they got on the same page.
Citing the African proverb, “When two elephants fight, only the grass suffers,” Miller concluded, “I implore all our elected officials to cease all the name calling and do everything within your power to turn our city around.’
The declarations from the Concerned Pastors are the latest chapter in an ongoing dispute between the mayor and the council over who will pick up trash in the city of Flint. The Mayor favors Rizzo Environmental Services and the city council, by an 8-1 vote, have continued to argue for Republic Services, who have been Flint’s trash contractors since they were selected by then-emergency manager Ed Kurtz in 2013.
Water activist sees connections to EMs
The dispute has been going on since June, when the city council voted against hiring Rizzo, whom she said had offered “the lowest responsible bid.” She then vetoed the council vote, leading to a series of suits by the council, with Kincaid the key figure in seeking injunctions to stop the switch to Rizzo.
One of those watching the Concerned Pastors’s presentation was water activist Claire McClinton, who bemoaned how the latest dispute has, she said, usurped the city’s focus on solving the water crisis. And she said she sees something deeper at work, asserting that the “emergency manager political model and the water problem are one and the same.”
She said, “We would not even be talking about garbage had not the EM, Ed Kurtz, outsourced the garbage, and sold our trucks. This is what happens when you privatize stuff.”
She added, “The city’s water problems go back to the emergency management and the privatization of the city’s trash. This is what you get — the perception of corruption, back room deals — all of this gets engendered when you privatize. That has been lost in the debate.”
The tabled resolutions by the City Council leading to Kincaid’s remarks had to do with contracts for re-roofing the City Hall North Building, a three-year contract with an engineering firm for switchgear maintenance, and a contract with a private firm to conduct residential rental inspection services.
Attempts to contact Kincaid and Council President Kerry Nelson were not successful today — possibly because they were in a court-ordered mediation session about the trash dispute with city officials in the courtroom of Circuit Court Judge Joseph Farah.
As for the trash, when asked who would be picking up trash in the city this week, Steve Branch, Mayor Weaver’s chief of staff, said, “I have no idea.”

Megachurch pastor charged with defrauding elderly investors
by Aaron Smith @AaronSmithCNN
March 30, 2018: 3:43 PM ET

Federal authorities have charged the pastor of a Texas megachurch and a Louisiana financial planner with defrauding elderly investors out of more than $1 million.
Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston and Gregory Alan Smith of Shreveport were charged Friday with six counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering, as well as one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, the Justice Department said.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also filed civil charges against Caldwell and Smith for the alleged fraud, which occurred from 2013 to 2014.
Caldwell, 64, is the senior pastor of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, which is described by the SEC as "one of the largest Protestant churches in the U.S." Smith, 55, is the manager of Smith Financial Group in Shreveport.
They're accused of bilking 29 mostly elderly investors by selling them Chinese bonds issued before the revolution of 1949, saying that their historical value made them "worth tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars" according to a court document from the SEC. "In reality, the bonds were mere collectible memorabilia with no investment value."

The SEC says the bonds have been in default since 1939, and the "current Chinese government refuses to recognize the debt."

Some of the victims liquidated their annuities to invest in this scheme, the SEC said
The ill-gotten funds were used to pay for personal expenses, including mortgage payments in the case of Caldwell and luxury automobiles in the case of Smith, it added.
The DOJ says they allegedly defrauded the investors out of more than $1 million. The SEC places that figure higher, at $3.4 million.
Neither the Windsor Village United Methodist Church or the Smith Financial Group responded to messages from CNNMoney.
Lawyers could not be located for Caldwell and Smith.
The SEC said that in 2010 Smith was permanently barred from associating with broker-dealers for "misappropriating investor funds."
The maximum sentence, if they're convicted, is 20 years with a $1 million fine, as well as restitution and forfeiture, the DOJ said. |

By Dominic Adams dadams5@mlive.com
FLINT, MI -- A Flint-based pastor and his business partner have been indicted on federal charges accusing the pair of using a church to swindle money from unsuspecting investors.
Larry A. Holley, pastor at Abundant Life Ministries International, Inc., and his business partner Patricia E. Gray are charged with conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, two counts of wire fraud, four counts of mail fraud and four counts of money laundering, according to an indictment unsealed Monday, May 21, in Flint U.S. District Court.
Federal prosecutors allege Holley would travel to various churches in Michigan and other states to conduct investment seminars to raise money for those churches and to get investments for his company, Treasure Enterprise.
Holley and Gray would use the money for personal benefit and for the benefit of Abundant Life Church, to make payments to earlier investors and to pay other employees, the indictment claims.
The pair appeared in federal court on Monday and were released on $10,000 bond.
Investigators claim Holley would urge church congregants to fill out cards detailing their financial holdings and those with substantial financial resources were targeted by Holley.
Holley would then set up a one-on-one consultation between the congregant and Gray -- who would trick them into investing with Treasure Enterprise, according to the indictment.
The pair also convinced potential investors to take money from legitimate investments such as retirement accounts and invest with Treasure on the promise of high, guaranteed returns at the end of the investment period.
The victims were told there would be no tax consequences and Gray promised them their money would be used for real estate purchases in Flint and other legitimate investments, the indictment said.
Investors were allegedly promised by Gray that she would roll over their retirement funds into tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Accounts and invest them in Treasure Enterprise.
No investor funds were ever deposited into IRAs, according to the indictment, and Treasure Enterprise struggled to make enough revenue from its real estate investments to support the business and make payments owed to investors.
Investigators allege Holley and Gray conducted the conspiracy from January 2014 to March 29, 2017, and the pair lied and directed others to lie when they were confronted by victims about the status of their investment.
During that time, Holley and Gray also used money from new investors to make interest and principal payments to previous victim investors, according to the indictment.
As part of Holley and Gray's scheme, a victim transferred about $80,000 from their 401K account to two separate accounts for Treasure Enterprise, the indictment said.
Three different victims mailed a combined $458,000 in checks from their 401K and IRA accounts that were later deposited into Treasure Enterprise bank accounts.
Holley and Gray used cash withdrawals and wire transfers to take $390,722 from Treasure Enterprise that was obtained through unlawful activities, the indictment said.
Treasure Enterprise was shut down in September 2017 after Holley and Gray agreed to no longer conduct any business regulated under the Michigan Uniform Securities Act.
Holley used faith-based rhetoric and scripture and biblical references to lure in investors, offcials said.
Holley's assets had been seized after civil fraud charges were filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, accusing him of exploiting church members, retirees and laid-off auto workers into investing in a real estate business he claimed was successful.
Federal authorities previously claimed some investors never saw their promised returns. More than 40 investors were owed roughly $2 million when the lawsuit was filed in March 2017.
Holley hosted financial presentations masked as "blessed life conferences" at churches across the country, the SEC previously said, and because Holley was a man who "prayed for your children," he was more trustworthy than a "banker" with their money.
The SEC previously claimed Holley's company and Gray bilked about $6.7 million from more than 80 investors who were promised high returns because they were investing in a profitable real estate company with hundreds of residential and commercial properties.
Gray also advertised on a religious radio station in Flint and called for laid-off auto workers who had severance packages to consult her for a "financial increase," the SEC alleges.
Starting in 2015, there were about 83 people who invested with Treasure -- some turned over their entire life savings, MLive-The Flint Journal previously reported.
Holley, Gray and Treasure Enterprise were not registered to sell investments.
The SEC froze the assets of Holley, Gray and Treasure Enterprise in 2017.
Holley, Gray and Treasure Enterprise were first ordered to cease and desist from selling unregistered securities, from acting as unregistered agents and from making false or misleading statements in the offer and sale of securities, in August 2016.
The pair has pleaded not guilty to the charges. |

Terry Bankert to FLINT CHANGE election/support/advocacy
10 hrs ·
Flint needs a candid discussion on Race Relations, Racism and Disparate treatment. Our Flint Human Relations Board lead by the Flint Ombudsman would be a good place to start. Trb
Sally Haywood Guess I am officially a pack rat! Going through my journal and found my notes on a 12-8-12 conversation led by Pastor Flynn on his radio show with Pastor Threkheld. Whenever someone starts a conversation with "I'm not a racist, but" you know some BS is coming.Obviously Flynn does not know the origin of the Concerned Pastors for Social Action (CPSA). Their logo was white hands linked with black hands in support . Flynn went on to criticize the nomination of a white pastor as a leader of the CPSA saying the wrong stats were being used as Flint was now 65% black and this white nominee was not a resident of the city and his church was not in the city. Flynn went on to say that his reflection was not personal and the nominee met all of the criteria when he was nominated.
Flynn went on to criticize a white city council. Eric mays called in to support Flynn and complained about having a white mayor too.
There were 16 callers and only a few disagreed with Flynn/ The issue of Flint blacks having a "slave mentality" that was ingrained in black poverty. Threkheld t least knew the true origin of the origin of the CPSA as organization and diversification.
There were 15 members that were in support of the nominees qualification and the Chairman was said to have stated that he did not care if he was white. At least two callers talked about the black community losing faith in their black leaders..
Pastor Oberton does not live in Flint and until recently he did not have a church in Flint. However he does have a wife that is CRA officer of a bank. |

Sex worker says pastor charged in Detroit slaying was a customer
Oralandar Brand-Williams, The Detroit News Published 6:18 p.m. ET Feb. 25, 2019 | Updated 6:32 p.m. ET Feb. 25, 2019
Pastor Albert Weathers is led into 36th District Court in Detroit Monday for a preliminary hearing in the death of Kelly Stough. Stough was found murdered December 7, 2018.Buy Photo

A self-admitted sex worker testified Monday that a Sterling Heights pastor charged in the slaying of a transgender Detroit woman routinely sought out "dates" in the Six Mile and Woodward area.
Kyra Butts, a transgender woman, testified in 36th District Court that the pastor, Albert Weathers, frequented the Palmer Park area and patronized her and other prostitutes, many of whom are transgender women.
"He was one of the guys that I hooked up with," Butts said during a preliminary hearing for Weathers. "He would drive around a lot before he would pick someone up."
Butts said she stopped going on "dates" with Weathers because he would give her the "run around" when it came to how much she would be paid for her services.
"His attitude was aggressive and kind of intimidating," Butts testified.
Weathers is accused of killing 36-year-old Kelly Stough, who allegedly was also a sex worker in the Woodward and Six Mile area. Stough's body was found near McNichols at Brush about 6 a.m. Dec. 7. She had been shot to death.
Butts said she last saw Weathers in the area a week before Stough's murder, which authorities allege was the result of a dispute over payment for sex services.

Weathers, 46, has been charged with open murder. His bond was set at $1 million.
Weathers' defense attorney David Cripps objected to Watts' testimony, saying it was "designed to smear my client" but he was overruled by Judge Michael Wagner.
Stough, also known as Keanna Mattel, died of a single gunshot wound in her left underarm. Assistant Wayne County Medical Examiner Dr. David Moons ruled Stough's death a homicide.
A Glock .40 S&W, which was identified as the possible murder weapon, was displayed during the hearing.

In a 911 call played in court Monday, Eddie Neal-Price told a 911 dispatcher that he saw a woman being thrown from a vehicle Dec. 7 in the area of Six Mile and Brush. The man, who was allegedly in the car with a woman believed to be Stough, drove off.
Neal-Price repeated in court that he saw a woman being thrown from the car, though under cross-examination, he said he wasn't sure if the person was a woman or a man.
Cripps questioned Neal-Price's account, saying it was "inconsistent".
The case against Weathers was assigned by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office to Special Prosecutor Jaimie Powell Horowitz from the Fair Michigan Justice Project, a collaboration between the prosecutor’s office and Fair Michigan Foundation Inc. The foundation helps state law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in solving crimes against victims who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.
Testimony continues at 1:30 p.m. March 11 before Wagner.

Ohio pastor encouraged other ministers to have sex with 'groomed' teen, prosecutors say—

Ohio pastor encouraged other ministers to have sex with 'groomed' teen, prosecutors say
Two other Toledo-area pastors charged in the investigation have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
March 25, 2019, 5:10 PM CDT
By Associated Press
TOLEDO, Ohio — A minister who promised a woman he'd take care of her daughter began having sex with the teenager daily and later encouraged two other pastors to have sex with her as well, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Anthony Haynes could face up to life in prison if he's convicted of child sex trafficking and other charges. The two other Toledo-area pastors charged in the investigation have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
Prosecutors said during the opening of Haynes' trial that he first had sex with the girl when she was 14. They said the evidence against him includes text messages, photos, voice mails and DNA evidence from his church where the girl said they often had sex.

Haynes' attorney told jurors that the allegations are shocking, but there's not enough evidence to prove the trafficking and conspiracy charges he faces.
Attorney Pete Wagner also said Haynes may have had a questionable relationship with the girl, but he didn't coordinate or take part in trafficking her to the other ministers. He also said there was no paying for sex.
Prosecutors say the girl had a difficult childhood and was sexually abused by a relative.
Haynes pledged in front of his congregation to protect her and serve as a father figure, but he began grooming her for sex when she turned 14 and first forced her to perform sex acts in front of him, said Michael Freeman, an assistant U.S. attorney.
They had sex day after day, often at a motel or his church, the Greater Life Christian Center in Toledo, and Haynes would give her cash, Freeman said.
After about a year, Haynes introduced her to Kenneth Butler, another pastor, and he also began having sex with her, Freeman said.

Sometimes, the two men joked about the arrangement, prosecutors said. One text shown in court that prosecutors say was sent by Butler to the girl said: "You better be nice and naked when I get there."
Prosecutors said the girl next met Cordell Jenkins, a minister who founded his own church in Toledo and built a large following until it closed after his arrest.
The FBI has said in court documents that Jenkins had sex with two girls at his home, church office and a motel and often recorded the acts with his phone.
Haynes, prosecutors said, encouraged the relationship with Jenkins.
In addition to the charges against the men, Haynes' wife and stepdaughter are accused of abducting the girl at gunpoint in January and warning her not to testify at his trial.
Court documents say the pair forced the teenager from her apartment, choked her with a cord and told her to take back statements she made to investigators. Attorneys for Haynes' wife and stepdaughter have declined to comment.
Just before her husband went on trial, his wife appeared Monday in the same courtroom where the judge overseeing the case turned down her request to be released. |

Joel Osteen’s protégé says the devil is trying to ‘mute’ him after his mistress releases suggestive voicemails
Tom Boggioni TOM BOGGIONI
26 MAR 2019 AT 15:10 ET
Taking to Instagram after a woman with whom he reportedly had an “emotional affair” released embarrassing audio tapes of the two of them speaking, a former associate of Houston megachurch pastor Joel Osteen defended himself and blamed the devil for his predicament.
According to Ebony, Pastor John Gray of the Relentless Church in South Carolina urged his followers to believe him and not their ears, writing, “The last three months have been the hardest of my life. So many things said about me. Some of it true. Most of it not.”
According to the pastor, who was sent off into the world by Osteen to build his own flock, “I didn’t sleep with anyone. Period. God is my witness. And anyone who I’m accountable to will tell you that when I’m wrong-and I’ve been wrong many times-I’ve admitted, repented and moved forward.”
Gray then complained that he is a target and those coming after him are after “blood.”
“People wanted blood. And on the spiritual side the devil wanted to mute me. That will never happen,” he professed. “If I never knew the power of The Blood, I do now. And I’ll always preach Jesus Christ as the power of God to eradicate the penalty of sin for those who choose to fall at the foot of the Cross.”
In one of the audio tapes the woman, whose name was kept anonymous, is told by a man identified as Gray, ““When you get this message, delete it. My wife saw our text messages from Friday. She knows you were in the same hotel as me and she does not know that I went to your room. She doesn’t remember me leaving. She’s got your number.” |

This pastor allegedly drugged & brutally raped two men before going home to his wife
By Alex Bollinger · Tuesday, April 2, 2019
Christopher Cox's mugshot
Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office
Police in Michigan are accusing a pastor of using drugs to lure two young men into his home and office and then sexually assaulted them.
Christopher Cox, 41, is the pastor of Long Lake Church in Traverse City. He was arraigned yesterday and told that he was being charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual assault and one drug trafficking count.
One of the victims, who is 19 and homeless, said that several weeks ago Cox was looking for a “drug buddy” and told the victim to come home with him for drugs and sex with women.
The victim said that he smoked meth with Cox and took CBD shots, and Cox gave him GHB. The probable cause statement says that he was incapacitated for several hours, during which Cox raped him repeatedly.

The next morning, the victim said that Cox threatened to kill him if he told anyone.
The other victim, a 26-year-old who came forward after the first victim, said that Cox gave him meth in his office last October and that he felt drunk. When he was incapacitated, Cox allegedly raped him.
Cox stopped several hours later and said that he had to get home to his wife and child.
“Based on what I know, I would be surprised if there weren’t more victims,” said Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg.
The first victim had injuries consistent with rape. A search of Cox’s home turned up pipes, syringes, lighters, meth, GHB, and electronic devices that are still being examined.
The church is discussing whether to fire Cox.
“I can’t imagine that he’d come back,” church clerk Jerry Dennis told the Record-Eagle. “All we can do is to stay alive, find another [pastor] and hope that this makes us stronger.”
“This is not the Christopher Cox that I know. Christopher is one of the most talented, intelligent people I’ve known in my lifetime. For this side of him, I find it to be almost inconceivable.”
“This has just disrupted our whole life.”
Cox has pled not guilty to the charges and his lawyer said he denies the allegations.
“It’s very early in the investigation, I’ll assume there will be more detailed reports available soon,” the attorney said. |
