Pastor Jamal Bryant is calling for the arrest of a man who stormed the lobby of his Atlanta-area megachurch and loudly denounced him during a recent service.

In the clip, a white preacher is shown pacing back and forth inside the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia. The man then shouts that Bryant is a “wicked dog” and warns that parishioners will “burn.” He was later escorted off the premises.

On Bryant’s podcast “Let’s Be Clear,”  the pastor is calling for the man to be identified and arrested, arguing that houses of worship should be protected from targeted disturbances. The push comes after a peaceful protest in a Minnesota church in January came under scrutiny by the Department of Justice. The incident resulted in the arrest of several Black activists and independent journalists, including Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. 

Though, as Bryant emphasizes, there seems to be a double standard when it comes to making arrests and demanding accountability.

“This white evangelical nationalist pastor had the audacity — he and his wife — to get out of his car… and for propaganda and disturbance, filmed themselves coming into our church using hate speech,” Bryant said. “And since you are against places of worship being disturbed…I want to know: When is the arrest warrant?”

In a statement, New Birth also stressed the importance of safety among all congregants: “The safety of our members, visitors, and staff is of paramount importance. We continuously evaluate our security protocols to ensure they reflect best practices and meet the needs of our congregation. We work closely with trained security professionals and local law enforcement to assess appropriate measures, including staffing, procedures, and available technologies.”

The church also emphasized that while specifics around security measures are intentionally kept private, they’ll continue providing a "safe, welcoming, and worship-centered environment."

Though it's clear some church members were left rattled by the scene. In an interview with local news, one woman shared that she felt it took too long for security to step in. “It’s crazy. It took way too long. Like I would be scared,” said Alfreda Smith to WSB-TV. “Anything could have popped off.”
