Boyega has shown up as one of the leaders of the anti-racist demonstrations that had engulfed cities of western nations since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 25 May.
British-Nigerian
actor, John Boyega has asked Christians to boycott any church that ignores the
BLM campaign.
In a tweet
that has gone viral, Boyega wrote:
“Don’t go
back to a church that ignores the current issues. Prosperity preaching every
Sunday. Kmt”
In London, he
had addressed rallies of Black Lives Matter(BLM) demanding equality for minorities
and even putting his acting career on the line.
On Saturday,
in asking for a boycott of prosperity churches, Boyega was still treading the
theme of the BLM protests.
“This is a
good time to question absolutely everything. You want to go back to the same
old system?”, he asked in another tweet.
Challenged by
someone who signed onto Twitter as J.D.@Probs_Not_Sprog as to whether Boyega
understands the reason people go to church, the 28 year-old Boyega replied: “We
are the church. Yes we are”.
