Mon. 9:25 pm: Warren pastor organizes MLK Day forum
WARREN – A Warren pastor who organized a Martin Luther King Day community forum Monday at the YWCA said he thinks the black religious community could be diluting its power by congregating in separate buildings.
The Rev. Todd Johnson, pastor of Second Baptist Church, said there are 65 to 70 black churches in the Warren area.
“It seems like everyone is doing the same things and going after the same pool of money,” said the man who made an independent run for the Trumbull County commissioner job last fall. “A consolidation of some of these churches would increase our economic power.”
