Rev Gilbert Jr. challenges the status quo of the current situation of the black church. This extremely dedicated preacher and social activist sounds a clarion call for the black church - a sleeping giant - to awake from its self-imposed slumber.
Gilbert is not an aloof critic making uninformed and baseless comments, but a committed, seasoned, second generation preacher, actively engaged in fleshing out the inaugural address of Jesus in Luke 4:18-19. In that sermon Jesus announced his ultimate concern and compassion for the downtrodden and dispossessed.
Following in the footsteps of Jesus this sanctified soldier, whether fighting for fair living wages, equal employment opportunities for disadvantaged youth or affordable housing this young preacher is always consistently on the front lines.
Thus, Gilbert, out of his deep love for the black church and the cause of Christ charges his fellow yoke men to once again assume their roles as champions of fairness, justice and equality.
