BISHOP GLENN PLUMMER, a prominent evangelical leader, loves Israel so much that he decided to move there. Less than a month ago, he and his wife Pauline packed up all their worldly possessions and boarded a plane to Israel having just sold their home in Detroit.
“We see it as we’re making aliyah as non-Jews,” said Plummer, in a telephone conversation with Haaretz from his new home in Mevasseret Zion, a suburb of Jerusalem.
A little more than a year ago, Plummer was named Bishop of Israel for the Church of God in Christ, the largest Black Pentecostal denomination in the United States.
He’s the first member of the church to hold this newly created position. With more than five million members in the United States (and 8.8 million worldwide), COGIC ranks among the largest Black churches in America.
