An Archbishop Who Changed History (A World Exclusive!)

THE G-MAN INTERVIEWS: ARCHBISHOP MARY FLOYD PALMER

Beloved Clergymember Discusses Her Historic Appointment,
Prison Ministry, Nicki Minaj and Domestic Abuse by Church Leaders  

 

Welcome.

The following excerpts are from an article published in the March 22nd edition of the Philadelphia Sunday Sun. 

"On Saturday, March 16, Bishop Mary Floyd Palmer made history when she became the first female presiding archbishop installed as the president of the Philadelphia Council of Clergy. The event took place at the historic Bright Hope Baptist Church, where Rev. Dr. Darron K. McKinney is the pastor. The sanctuary was packed with religious, elected and civic leaders, as well as family and friends of Bishop Palmer. It was significant that Bishop Mary, as many call her, was installed in March, Women’s History Month, because she was making history in her own right." 

“I am excited for change and I’m elated for everything that has happened,” said Archbishop Palmer. “I’m honored by Bright Hope Baptist Church. I’m blessed by the Samaritan Temple and I’m absolutely humbled by the Chief Celebrant David Hartman and my uncle, (Bishop Anthony Floyd), for such an affirmation of support and love.” 

The beloved clergymember joins me for this special edition to discuss her historic appointment, prison ministry, the power of Nicki Minaj and other female rappers, domestic and sexual abuse by church leaders and other major issues. 

The interview was conducted on April 1, 2019.
