As this continues. Time for a change. Pastor Bean has been in the job too long and suddenly springs on us that we are in this situation because of slave trauma. No trauma from a lack of leadership and his ineffective strategies based on a PhD nobody understands. It is going to get worse. Slave trauma ????when we did lots to prove our worth and built strong communities and families now destroyed by such foolishness. So sad that he continues and that ideology is followed by those who were sent to sit in the corner and learn their ABCs.
