Funky Art Funk king George Clinton did a little shopping before his concert Saturday night at the Millennum Center. The popular music star brought original works by several local, young black artists. Here, Clinton, second from left, poses with Othneil Dobson, left, who painted a portrait of Clinton that the musician loved so much that he purchased. He also bought paintings from artists Derrick Monk and Derek Stallings , far right. Each artist painted a picture of Clinton with his musical "Mothership."

Later, she was active in civil rights work and appeared with Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington in 1963. Bynum emphasizes survival in sermon Popular 'prophetess' preaches at Winston-Salem church BY LAYLA FARMER THE CHRONICLE Even before famed evangelist Juanita Bynum picked up the microphone, there was hardly a dry eye in the sanctuary of the Christ Cathedral Church of Deliverance. The best selling author and "prophetess" spoke before an overflow crowd at the church last Thursday and Friday as part of its two day "Prophetic Encounter 2008" event. Bynum's sermon followed more than an hour of spirited praise and worship. The music, faith ful expressions and throngs of onlookers created a vibrant energy that even Bynum picked up on right away. "I don't know about you, but I can feel the spirit of the Lord in this place," Bynum told the audi ence, scanning the Juanita Bynum o . ? room with a smile. "...God's going to preach in this place tonight, I can feel it." It was Bynum's 1998 sermon on sexual immorality, entitled "No More Sheets," that catapulted her to the forefront of an ever-grow ing televangelism industry and garnered her a legion of loyal followers across the world. She was so well-known in 2002, that her million dollar wedding to evangelist Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III, founder of the Atlanta-based Global Destiny Ministries, was broadcast on Christian television. But the fairy tale nuptials ended abruptly a year ago, when Weeks reportedly grabbed Bynum, pushed her to the ground and kicked her in the parking lot of the Renaissance Concourse Hotel near Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. Weeks later pled guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to community serv ice and anger management counseling, a some what light sentence that his former wife sup ported. Bynum has since become a staunch advo cate of domestic violence awareness, using her own, highly publicized story as an exiunple that anyone can fall victim to such atrocities. An accomplished songstress with several hit albums under her belt, Bynum has recently begun testing the waters as an actress. She will appear in the film version of "Mama I Want to Sing!" and had a role on the ABC <show "Lincoln Heights." Before giving her sermon last Thursday, Bynum regaled the audience with song, com manding the stage with her powerful pipes. Change and transition were major themes of her message. "We are living in a time that the Lord is doing kingdom shifting," Bynum said, criss crossing the stage in a long white robe and gravity-defying high heels. "This is the season of the changing of the guards." She spoke at length about the differences she sees between the kingdom of God and the institution of the church that is sworn to repre sent it. , , "The church can be explained," she said, "the kingdom cannot." She urjged the congregants to stay strong in the face of hardship. "How do you know when you've got the faith of the Lord? When you know you should've quit a long time ago!" she answered. "People of the kingdom are going through things that nobody else could go through and* they're still standing. It's a mystery!"
