For two months this fall, Flynn Johnson used his Sunday sermons to explore the role of the church in modern culture, and to emphasize the need for Christians to carry Heaven’s agenda in the world. Near the end of the eight-week series, he turned to the topic of abortion.
Johnson, the bishop at Metro City Church, a midsize black church in Atlanta, said he called for parishioners burdened by the sin of abortion to come forward for prayer. He was shocked, he said, when dozens of members — many of them men — rose from the pews.
