Rev. O’Neal Dozier of the Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach, Florida, has been selected by Thabo Makgoba, the successor to Desmond Tutu as archbishop of Cape Town, to serve as the North American president of a “spiritual economics” initiative seeking to encourage indigenous Africans and the diaspora to invest in economic development in Africa.
Robert Beatty, publisher of South Florida Times, was MC at the “Winds of Change economic leadership conference” at the church on Saturday. “We are here today to reorder your thinking,” he pronounced. “We must find our rightful place on the international platform.”
As the leaders of this initiative see it, that involves a spiritual faith “that God wants all his children to have abundance,” according to Beatty, and that the centuries of uprooting and hardship endured by African-Americans has led them to a point where they can make money and reinvest it on the African continent.
