Lerone Martin, an assistant professor of American Religious History at Eden Theological Seminar in St. Louis is speaking out against Creflo Dollar for remarks he made during his June 5 sermon telling visitors to return to Bishop Eddie Long’s church no matter what he did.

Dollar was working to discourage people from leaving New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia to join his church, World Changers. “If you’re from that church then you know I’m talking about, you trying to join here, I don’t want you to join here. You need to go and join where you’re supposed to be,” Dollar said.

Martin, in an Open Letter to Dollar, asked several poignant questions:

Would you send YOUR kids back to a summer camp where one of the key officials was shrouded in the “wreckage” of sexual abuse? Or would you keep your kids home that summer?

Would you send YOUR kids back to a mentoring program where the leading mentor privately settled his sexual abuse “wreck” out of court for millions of dollars? Or would you cover your babies and run for safety?

Would YOU continue to unquestionably financially and otherwise support a non-profit organization where the power structure was clouded in a questionable history of inappropriate sexual contact with children? Or would you seek to place your family’s treasures, time, and talents elsewhere?

Would YOU tell your catholic neighbors to send their children back to the same parish and priest that allowed children to be sexually abused? Would you tell them its only a “wreck?” Or would you tell them to find another church home?
