Black Pastor and Theologian Eric Mason noticed that the Muslim Community in his Philadelphia Community was attracting young black men, while the black church was not. Additionally, he realized that much of the Gospel was missing from the church, and that contributed to men leaving the church. What were we (in the Black Church) doing wrong? The answer was, that we were not telling men what their purpose was. This has become a major foundation for Eric Mason’s ministry. He is also active in the Gospel Coalition, recognizing the obvious need to reform the Black Church.
