By Kamau Austin, Co-publisher, The Southeast Queens Scoop
After a high energy service three (3) weeks ago culminating the Flake Legacy worship service, as a memorial for stewardship of Doctors Floyd and Elaine Flake, Allen A.M.E. Cathedral, recently announced their highly anticipated appointment for their new Pastor: Rev. Stephen A. Green. Allen A.M.E. has been a pillar of community progress for many decades under the former Pastors Floyd and Elaine Flake's leadership.

Aleeia Abraham, highly respected leader of the 36,000+ Black Resource Network sent positive vibes to the new Pastor and his wife Ms. Lady Braea Green, "Congratulations
to Rev. Stephen A. Green and his wife, Lady Braea Green on their new
appointment as Pastor at The Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York." Her comments reflected the comments of many other members of her organization and residents of Southeast Queens last week.
Rev. Green is known to have quite an extensive background championing community causes and social justice. Pastor Green seems to have had a passion for social justice from his family and early involvements in activism.
According to Faith For Black Lives "Rev. Green’s passion to help others and fight the good fight started
early. He grew up helping at his father’s church.
He began organizing
against police brutality and gun violence while in high school in Little
Rock, Arkansas. While studying at Morehouse College, the alma mater of
the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., he learned of the deaths of Troy Davis
and Trayvon Martin and became a student organizer."
