Did Lexi Show Interview with Bishop O.C. Allen Condone Alternative Lifestyles?

oc allen and lexi

We couldn't help but notice that the very recent interview Lexi had with Bishop O.C. Allen was very different than others she's done on the subject of the church and homosexuality. We would like to address the one she did with former gospel singer Tonex'.

We want to say we love the fact that Lexi had her interview with Tonex' because her show allowed us to see a side of him that many may not have seen or known. Her venue allowed us to explore the world of Tonex' and his hurts and pains. We can appreciate Tonex's honesty yet being open and willing to address the hard questions.

If you have seen Lexi's interview with Tonex' in 2009, you'd know that she had total control over this interview. What we mean is: She had control over this interview as a host who had planned questions and actually tackled the issues she knew her audience wanted to know. She knew to address the issues of sexuality, career path, family issues and his position in the church. This was absolutely addressed and she allowed Tonex' to speak his mind but she definitely rebuked him in some ways which we would expect. You could tell from her tone, her facial expressions and frankly her obvious frustration with  his life, that she did not agree with his current lifestyle.

Bishop O.C. Allen Interview with Lexi Portrayed As the Best Kind of Church for Today

This interview was just uploaded and it was Lexi interviewing Bishop O.C. Allen of Vision Church of Atlanta and including his gay lover whom they call 'The First Gentleman" Rashad Burgess. Though the Bishop was comfortable with Lexi conducting the interview, the Burgess was worried about her coming. Apparently all of the blood, sweat and tears he and O.C. Allen put into building a church community for all kinds of people including gays, he did not want it to be 'attacked' by her 'good will' in the interview.

The interview consists of brief statements from people on the church staff and others as well. BTW, Bishop O.C. Allen does not want to be considered a 'gay or gay affirming' church, because he says that is not his lane. Interesting.
