DETROIT (WJBK) -- Charity Grace lives on the east side of the city with her 2-year-old son, Joshua. The two recently started to attend Perfecting Church under the leadership of Pastor Marvin Winans.

On Sunday, a special blessing is planned at the church on East Nevada Street. They are having a dedication service for children two years old and under. Grace was looking forward to having her only child receive this blessing.

"I want to instill values and morals in my son based upon the word of God," said Grace.

She called the church on Tuesday to make arrangements. "I told them I was not married and that's where everything just broke loose."

Grace says she spoke with a woman who told her Pastor Winans' policy is that he is not to bless children of unwed mothers in front of his congregation.

"I've never felt so degraded and disrespected in my life," said Grace.

Rev. W.J. Rideout III () of All God's People Church speaks out about injustice outside the church and all over the world. So, we asked if he thought this was an injustice inside the church.

"Every pastor has set up the pattern of his church, the way he feels or deems fit. But as it relates to the scripture, I feel like it's wrong," said Rideout. "I feel like we're judging, but we're not judging with righteous judgement."

We asked to speak with Pastor Winans about the allegations. He declined an interview.

"What they could do for me is let my son get dedicated, during a week day with one of the elders of my choice," said Grace.

"I'm not speaking against the pastor, but sometimes we make poor decisions," said Rideout.

"I absolutely would not set foot back in the church right now because I feel like they look down upon me and my kind, meaning single moms and unwed mothers. The church should be the last place you should go to be judged and denied," said Grace.

Like I said you don't need to make a joke out of Christianity, the Christians do it themselves.

 

[Just like bruddas]

Think she should just go to another church.

No need to try and be with a pastor thats passing judgement on those he serves.

 

[Ricky Church]

he's working for god now? I wondered where he went after "I Don't Wanna Know" came out. one hit wonder

this Pastor.


Our people need to be held accountable and we need to restore some morals and standards in our communities. Single mothers are praised in our communities, leading to more single mothers.

People need to be judge by their acts and character. Idiots use the "only God can judge me" card to avoid scrutiny and shame of their action. We need to shame these demons, raising these kids alone. Giving these kids less chance to succeed than normal.

Allowing her son to participate in a dedication for 2 year olds in which her son would be "blessed" by a "man of God" is praising single mothers

Her son hasn't done shyt.

You know single mothers are infallible in our community. No one corrects them or challenges them. Our community has made being a single mother almost cool. Like there's nothing wrong it. Pastor doesn't want anything to do with a single parent raising a child the wrong way. It's time for us to promote and reward the right way or disown and seperate ourselves from the wrong way of doing things.

 

[I'm Billy FUCO!!]

I'll bet if this was some gay dude being turned away then the pastor would get a lot more co-signs

But a woman who fornicated and had a b*stard child? How dare we judge her....only God can judge her

 

[Ronnie Lott]

now im all about #HOH. but this shyt is goin too far

So he denies her son a "blessing" from God

He can go up there and give sermons about how God would wash the feet/have dinner with sinners and whores but then gives single mothers the when they want their son to receive a blessing?

Nah the way sex is marketed to our youth in music and tv shows are leading to single mothers.

**snorts 20seconds**

Bububububut Jesus was the son of a another man, his mom was happily married, it was plenty of single women for God to choose but he chose a married woman.

I bet he had no problem accepting that 10% from her

Bet money he has no women as deacons, and prolly think a woman as a deacon is blasphemy .

What is he gonna do when that donkey come to him at night and starts convicting him, like the donkey did balaam
