Tourists swell congregations in New York's gospel churches
(8 Mar 2012)
AP Television
New York, US - February 26, 2012
1. Mid of church member singing
2. Various of choir members entering sanctuary
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sophia Volz, tourist from Germany, voxpop
No I am really here for the music, I am not that religious. No
4. Mid of choir members in white singing
5. Mid of tourists walking down the aisle
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dabney Montgomery, Church Member
We are hoping that they come more for the religious service, but we have to face facts. Many of them haven't heard gospel before and they come for the gospel.
7. Close of church member pull focus to tourists in background
8. Mid of church members praying plus camera pan to pews
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Esther D. Miller, Church Member:
If the tourists didn't come the church would practically be empty, because we have lost a lot of members and we have old members. And lot of them can't come out. So the visitors is a blessing in disguise.
11. Mid of soloist in white singing
12. Mid of church members in pews
13. Mid of Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith at the pulpit
14. SOUNDBITE: (English) Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith:
They're not tourists, they're people of faith. That's the integrity, people of faith.
15. Wide of choir in balcony dressed in white
16. SOUNDBITE: (English) Arnaud Lloret, Tourist from France:
I am French and so it's very exotic because we don't have gospel sound or gospel church in France.
17. Mid of Pastor singing at pulpit
18. Mid of choir members in black singing
19. Mid of people in pews clapping
20. SOUNDBITE: (English) Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith:
We want you to treat the Black religious experience the same way you would treat going to the Vatican.
21. Various of tourists taking photos
22. SOUNDBITE: (English) Carlo Smith-Ramsay, Church Member:
it's just more like they're coming to a baseball game as spectators. I just think that sometimes it's disrespectful.
23. Mid of the collection plate being handed around the congregation
24. SOUNDBITE: (English) Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith:
I refuse to commercialise the church and the worship experience. I know that there are churches who work with those agencies, and they receive remuneration. I don't do that. You don't pay people to experience the lord to come and pray and ask God to release them of whatever burden that they're facing. I think that's unconscionable. Jesus never did that.
25. Mid of choir members in black robes singing
LEADIN:
Live gospel music in Harlem's churches is drawing tourists from Europe.
But they aren't necessarily devout Christians, which is of concern to some of New York City's faithful.
STORYLINE:
On any given Sunday, Harlem's churches are not only filled with local parishioners, but European tourists eager to experience authentic gospel music.
Harlem's gospel church tours were born in the early 1980s, when just a couple of tour companies began ferrying European visitors _ the French and the Germans in particular _ to services on Sunday mornings.
Since then the industry has exploded: on a busy summer Sunday, one tour operator alone might run 15 buses packed with tourists to various places of worship.
Tours vary in cost, with the pricier ones charging $55 per person. And therein lies the uncomfortable overlap between religion and commercialism. Most churches get a cut of the profit, though tour operators refuse to disclose how much or even name the churches they work with
Sunday mornings mean lines wind around the block to the Mother African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and tour busses drop off tourists in droves.
The visitors arrive, guidebooks in hand - but they're not necessarily here for their own religious devotion.
Some are more pragmatic.

IS THE BLACK CHURCH DEAD? A ROUNDTABLE ON THE FUTURE OF BLACK CHURCHES
IS THE BLACK CHURCH DEAD? A ROUNDTABLE ON THE FUTURE OF BLACK CHURCHES
During the first few months of 2010 a new, yet familiar, debate broke out about the role of black churches in the United States. What began as a provocative article on the Huffington Post elicited a wide range of responses from religious leaders around the country, ignited an online dialogue among academics, and sparked a plethora of essays across the blogosphere. These exchanges inspired a series of interviews on NPR, and, ultimately, the dialogue was featured in the New York Times.
Bringing together a group of distinguished voices who represent the worlds of both church and academia, this roundtable conversation will build on many of the themes that emerged in the above debate with the hopes of helping to highlight, clarify and query some of the most pressing challenges and promising developments that occupy the American religious landscape. A number of critical issues—including religious pluralism, gender exclusion, marriage equality, class divisions and the persistence of racial inequality—in contemporary society will be on the table in this discussion of the

As Pastor of the nationally renowned Abyssinian Baptist Church in the City of New York, and President of the State University of New York (SUNY) College at Old Westbury, Dr. Butts’ sincere commitment to enhancing the kingdom of God on earth is evidenced in a loyal attention to the daily activities and services of the congregation, as well as the pervasive impact of the church on community development initiatives including homelessness, senior citizen and youth empowerment, cultural awareness and ecumenical outreach.
Under Dr. Butts’ leadership, Abyssinian Baptist Church is committed to the expansion and maintenance of its Christian mission to win more souls for Christ through evangelism, pastoral care, Christian education, social service delivery, and community development. Toward that end, in 1989 Rev.
