Did God make Clinker Judge and Jury over who and who should not enter a church? Who has the right to stop anyone from entering a church. Jesus did not stop the Pharasees and the Sudasees from entering the synagogue knowing them all to be hypocrits. Clinker and his cronies should allow the Man of God to do God's work in Peace and he, must now humble himself and ask forgiveness for backbiting against the Reverend Daryl Gray and stop playing politics. May God continue to bless Reverend Daryl Gray in a Mighty and Supernatural way.

I agree that Rev. Darryl Gray is one of the few who has stepped up to the plate and addressed many issues that are plaguing the Black Community. Rev. Gray deserves our thanks for his efforts.

I was at Union United Church during the turbulent times before the dismissal of Rev. Darryl Gray. What I witnessed was heartbreaking. People came to Union United Church in droves. Rev. Gray's services were very lucrative for the Church. He had a large following which fed his ego and led to him wanting more attention and exposure. Rev. Gray ran for political office and lost. He became the President of Alliance Quebec which went bankrupt. Rev. Gray's private life became headline news when he was accused of physically abusing his wife.

During this same time, The United Church of Canada wanted to terminate Rev. Gray because he had not obtained the required Master of Divinity Degree. A Master of Divinity Degree usually takes 2 to 3 years to complete. The United Church of Canada had already given Rev. Gray 7 years to obtain this Degree. I agree that race did play a part in the decision that The United Church of Canada made. However, it was not in terminating Rev. Gray, but in allowing Rev. Gray to continue ministering well after the required Degree deadline. I believe that if Rev. Gray was not black, he would have been promptly terminated in accordance with the laws of The United Church of Canada.

I remember as if it was yesterday the last Sunday Rev. Darryl Gray preached as a Minister of the United Church of Canada. Union United Church was packed to overflowing. There was hardly a dry eye in the house. This congregation loved Rev. Gray. He gave to this Black English Church in Little Burgundy what they needed the most - HOPE. After that Sunday, the Church has been divided. Many members went with Rev. Gray to his new church. Union United Church is struggling to gain a new identity apart from Rev. Gray.

I believe that the letter sent by David Clinker, Supervising Minister of Union United Church asking Rev. Gray not to enter the premises or take part in the events of Union United Church was an attempt to continue the separation process that is necessary for this Church to heal and move forward. I do agree that Churches should be open to all. However, Rev. Gray has been a Minister for many years and he knows that every time he goes to Union United Church brings this congregation again to the painful events that led up to him leaving and how the Church was split up as a result.

I hope and pray that Rev. Gray will be able to stay away from Union United Church until the healing process is completed. In the meantime, Imani Family & Full Gospel Church is open for any Union United Church member who wants to come and receive the message of HOPE that Rev. Darryl Gray is freely offering every Sunday morning.

Why is this so difficult to understand?
Do you believe that the motivation that was behind the exclusion of the blacks from the white churtch was because of anything but a desire to supress them?
Do you believe that. that motivation does not still exist within the white community today?
If you are not able to see this as an educated person, no wonder the less educated fight and kill each other instead of seeing that their position in the society is the result of such a policy by the white majority? You probably are not aware that the high rate of 'canibalism' amongst young blacks is happening by design too.
