Ghost Megachurches: Salem Baptist Church Hires Former SBC Pastor To Stem The Bleeding
(Evangelical Dark Web) In this edition of our series on Ghost Megachurches, we cover a predominantly black church in Chicago that once boasted 10000 members now in an evident decline.

Credited by Christian Post as the reason for decline, the church seems to have failed to adapt well for their size in the highly competitive online environment. Black churchgoers have routinely been less willing to return to in-person worship and this would Salem Baptist Church looks like another casualty in the trend.

You know what is so sad as I go through my community is how many black people continue to wear mask, shy away if you walk by them or with a frightened look on their face. I wish they would open their eyes to the fact that they are being lied to AGAIN. The ratio of black people wearing masks in my area has to be 9:1. Someone has to be telling them that the virus was designed to kill them? (Not that wearing a mask would stop this tiny virus in the first place.)
