Churches Back Black Development Plan At Denomination Meeting
The church group rejected curbs by a 2-1 vote and then backed the original measure. It calls for $500,000 immediately from member denominations for black economic development, with about $200,000 to fund regional black conferences to be planned by the National Committee of Black Churchmen. The board also approved drafting plans for churches to invest tens of millions more. Dr. Arthur Flemming warned that inaction would worsen black white polarization and risk a split society. BEDC has sought $500 million from religious bodies for reparations, and has disrupted church settings, though disruptions have eased with new officers.
