Some of his fellow singers would have been members at the Cathedral of Hope. Why didn’t they have the funeral there?
The reason for the church has died (to be able to thumb their noses at the Baptists). Now that they have to make payments on the building, stop embezzling quite so much, actually minister to folks that may not be gay, etc., the church has dwindled to just a few hundred.
Oh, and COH did not offer their facilities for the funeral. Too expensive to clean up afterward.
