Prelate Blasts Cult Leader
Who Says All Churches In
Durham Should Be Padlocked
Bishop C. L. Faison, presiding
prelate of the Church of God in
Christ Jesus, hurled a broad-'
side at Bishop S. C. Johnson,
head of the Church of the Lord
Jesus Christ of the Apostolic
Faith, here last Sunday after
noon in a sermon preached be
fore a gathering of the Council
now in session here at the local
church.
Bishop Faison told his audi
ence that he believed that there
were some good people in all
churches and that he did not
sanction the idea that any paf-
ticular chvurch had a comer on
all of the righteousness or that
no one could be saved unless he
was baptized by httn or some
one particular minister.
In a sermon preached here
several t weeks ago Bishop
Johnson had stated that every
church in Diurham might as well
be padlocked unless the people
in it were baptized by him and
that unless the ministers in
those churches preaclied the
doctrine he preaches all of
their members were going to
hell. The challenge of the so-t
caalled Bishop Johnson was in
keeping with that he rtiakes
each Sunday in a radio broad
cast.
Bishop Johnson, '^ho usually
travels in one or more Cadillacs
has his Durham church housed
in the building formerly used
by a local theatre which he has
rented. Rumors were flying
around Durham that he had
bought the theatre building at
f fabulous price but upon in
vestigation it was discovered
that he was merely renting it.
“I am the husband of one
wife,” said Bishop Faison here
Sunday, “and I challenge anyone
to produce any other woman
who claims me as her husband.”
Although Bishop Faison did not
say so, it is believed that he was
referring to several radio and
cult “bishops” who hav« been
'Integration And Business' Panel
Sponsored By Business Chain
^ISHOP C. L. FAISON
accused of having abandoned
their wives and married a
second or third.
Following the sermon here
Sunday morning, members of
tile church raised a total of
$106 for the Bishop’s wife as a
token of esteem and affection.
“Likewise I am not concern
ed about what a woman has on.
What are you in your heart ia
more important than what you
have on your back,” he said.
No Legal Way To

The Dean of George Wash
