A Detroit pastor was handcuffed outside of his own church as someone else tried to take over the building. The biggest issue, he says, is how police treated him.
A Detroit pastor was handcuffed outside his church. He said he believes a previous entity associated with the church took over the building, bank account, and business entities in what he's calling a "church jacking."Pastor Lorenzo Sewell has been the head of the congregation for five years at 180 Church in. But he recently found himself in handcuffs outside the building in what he says was a "church jacking".
"He's trying to stop me from going into the building. He’s asking me who I am. I tell him my name is on the building." Sewell said. "He’s walking me off in handcuffs.""Not for me, but for people that look like me that don’t have Todd Perkins as their attorney. Pastors that don’t have relationships," he said.
"It’s just the power of privilege. I believe that when you are white and you have power, you feel like ‘I own this’. Instead of saying 'Wow he’s been the pastor for five years'," Sewell said.
