Here's some news you won't hear on CNN. Minister Kenn Blanchard, a.k.a. the BlackManWithAGun, was recently attacked for his pro-gun activities in his historic church of two thousand members in Washington, DC by the elder deacon and trustee board of the church. He was defended by his Pastor and brought to speak to one of his accusers with promise that he would get the opportunity to tell about the right to keep and bear arms to the leadership of this church. This was going to be a monumental event because either the joint board would become enlightened about the plight of the congregation or Blanchard would be stripped of his title as a minister in that church and have his license to preach revoked.

Last Sunday, allegations were brought to the church body during service to oust the pastor of the church for sexual misconduct to have him removed from the church. The senior deacons and trustees called the police and interrupted service in attempts to have the pastor and his pistol-packing young ministerial assistant removed. It didn't happen. After more tears and drama than a "Lifetime" movie can give, the dynamic duo remained to preach both services. Kenn is a former federal police officer and was able to de-escalate the situation with the crew of Metropolitan police officers that had been called in case he or his pastor were "going to go out in a blaze of glory".

The Washington Times (April) and Washington Post (Sept) recently profiled Kenn Blanchard for his beliefs in the right to keep and bear arms and his website www.blackmanwithagun.com actively slams the NAACP, which this church is a large supporter.

The battle is not over. Stay tuned and pray for the brothers. (Name of church and deacons withheld)

:banghead:
 
I'm really sorry to hear that. I felt pretty good about my church when I heard the senior pastor speaking negatively of gun laws ( I think he was referring to the AWB but I'm not sure). My sympathies.
 
Is this gentleman the same Kenn Blanchard that hosted or still hosts one of the radio talk shows "Black Avenger"? ?

Former LEO guy, with a wall of patches, badges, etc that other LEO's sent to him?

If so, he is a REAL American, with pretty darn good ideas, based on what I used to hear.
 
Minister Blanchard,

I pray that the Holy Spirit would convict, enlighten, and teach the children of the Lord in your congregation. I also pray that His power would strengthen you and keep you in this stressful time. I thank you for standing up for truth in a difficult situation and will continue to pray for you and your congregation.
 
Glad to see you here again, Mr. Blanchard. Our thoughts and prayers go with you. "Guarding" the flock is not just a metaphor. All the best.
 
First, Welcome to THR Mr. Blanchard!! You'll find a great group of like-minded folk here, dedicated to the natural and God-given Right To Keep And Bear Arms. Please keep posting and sharing your views with us as you seem to have a very unique and refreshing perspective in the community.

Second, I checked out your website briefly - very well done! You hit the nail on the head with #11, and you should put that one in BOLD type: CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY GUN LAWS!!

Sincere best wishes in your current struggles, and keep up the good fight!
 
I think Ken Hamblin is the "Black Avenger".

Used to hear him out of Chico when I was in Sacramento - hard to tune, but worth it - have not hard him in many many years.
 
My church runs the gamut from socialists to libertarians to 'restore family value Democrats' [sic] to 'save the children Republicans' [sic].

Thankfully so far the leadership has kept politics when not applicable to the mission of the church. Sorry about the mess you're in :(

If you ever make it out here, a bowl of scary Vietnamese food is on me :)
 
Are we jumping to conclusions here? The post is written about Ken Blanchard in the third person, which suggests that the poster is NOT Ken Blanchard, but perhaps is someone who admires him and picked that name for a handle here. Nothing wrong with that, but it would be nice to be clear about it.

What say you, sir? Are you Ken Blanchard or just one of us peons? ;)
 
Thanks, Kaylee. Somebody already straigtened me out with a PM, but it's good to have it clarified in the thread.
 
Dear brother,

I appreciate your principled stand on the 2nd Amendment, and I am glad your pastor stood with you against the other leaders.

A question: Was the allegation of sexual misconduct against the pastor due to the leaders trying to kick him out because he stood up for you, or was it based on something else? Is there sexual misconduct on his part? (Which, of course, is an entirely different matter than the firearms issue.)

Integrity in the leadership of the church is extremely important. Guard yours.

In Christ,
Rich
 
sorry about the third person

It is me, Kenn Blanchard. I was feeling like Bob Dole there for a moment.
Thank you brothers. What you wrote means a lot to me. I will appreciate scriptures and prayers sent to my email address.

The allegations against my Pastor have been calculated and timed for the best affect. I don't believe them and support him.

I just heard the story broke on the local news so the word is coming out. I think after a failed attempt at stopping the service Sunday, the character assassination continues.

Don't put your faith in man family, it is the Creator who we look to.
 
That really sounds like an interesting church, in that I'm not used to that type of thinking in a congregation. I attend a large 2000+ member congregation in the honored sacred lair of Indiana. Hundreds of the Christian Soldiers in attendance on Sundays and Wednesdays are not only armed with the spiritual Sword of the Word (Hebrews 4:12) but are also carrying at least their primary carry weapon. As far as politics, The county Republican Sherrif is a member of the congregation. And my Federal congressional district is so far to the right, that Democrats and other liberals don't even run local, county and often not federal candidates. But the Libertarians always have a strong run.

Now why would a Christian pastor such as yourself be removed for your stance on RKBA?
 
Caught a snipet on the news last night and read the column in the Post today. Nothing in the Times today. No mention of Kenn.

Best of luck to you and the pastor. I pray the truth will win out and perhaps some of the deacons and elders will be removed.
 
Brother Blanchard...

May God grant you strength and victory.
 
I've never been counted among the faithful but you certainly have my best wishes and support. We live free in this country largely due to the Christian values it was founded on and I support any church with those that have the good sense to think. You're doing your part and lets hope others see the light.
 
Kenn, I humbly praise your sincere efforts in educating the uneducated. Your work will be rewarded. I liked your site and bookmarked it to send to some friends who I feel could genuinely benefit from such knowlege. Keep up the good work !

IF GOD IS FOR ME THEN WHO SHALL RISE AGAINST ME ???!!!!!!

God Bless !!
Carl
