Thread: Churches doing tributes to Prince- thoughts?

I saw several churches on my Facebook page doing tributes this past Sunday to the rock star Prince.most were dressed in purple to honor him and his music

Here's just one example

Any thoughts on this? Is it appropriate or not ?

I've heard about this church in the past...very liberal. I think they even had Carlton Pearson in to preach a time or two

Here's another church, doing "Diamonds and Pearls" (ETA: it's a medley )

Yes they have Farakhan preach too

But I saw pics of churches all over the Bay Area and elsewhere too .. Dwey smith in Atlanta too

Carlton did a big write up too

Oh LAWDY

I didn't know that Bishop Paul Morton "borrowed" his version of "Let it Rain" from Purple Rain..that shows how much I listened to Prince (not much)

Yeah, that's really irrelevant. He was a known JW, and that's all we know. I'm not gonna hold a service honoring Hitler because he might have called on God before he died. I mean it's no different than if a church honored David Bowie after he died. Or Frank Sinatra. I mean why would you?
