How does Coley feel about the issue of music ministry vs artistry? It's the only music that can give you answers to questions that can lift your spirits that can encourage you, that can empower you. Gospel is the only music that can take on any form of deliverance as far as the lyrical content.

Hopefully, we can get away from dividing it between contemporary and traditional. I think that gospel is moving to a point of greater acceptability. I appreciate the secular artists, who want to keep an identity by having contact in the gospel community.

Sometimes the gospel community wants to act so aloof and so 'grand'. But they're not supporting the ones who are only singing gospel. If it wasn't for God, a lot of us would starve to death! We haven't learned to appreciate one another and to show that appreciation. You know they sang up in there last night! And But the church in its ignorance has run them away! Coley's convictions of ministry are pervasive throughout his entire life.

The growing congregation worships each week at pm at the Faith United Methodist Church facility. Founded under the umbrella of the Love Center Ministries Bishop Walter Hawkins , Pastor Coley states that his congregation is fully involved in "Learning to be effective witnesses for the Lord.

Recently, the church sponsored a Youth Crusade under a canopy in a local park for a week. According to Coley, the response from the community was incredible. That can only come from you letting go of your 'good name' and telling folks, 'Yeah, I used to be this, that or the other As Coley deals with his own life, ministry and faith, he has had to overcome many obstacles. Amongst his greatest struggles was in when his albums on Sparrow were first achieving national success.

When God began to manifest - via the Holy Spirit - other gifts that were in operation in my ministry, we had great, great, great service that entire week! There was just a refreshing and a renewal for a lot of people. After I was home for two or three days, I got very ill. I mean, I woke up and couldn't get out of the bed. I just thought it was the flu, because of the symptoms. I didn't even go to the doctor.

In fact, I was home for two weeks before I went to the doctor. I really didn't get concerned about it until I woke up about a week or so after the initial sickness and I couldn't see beyond a foot in front of me.

When I finally did get to the doctor and started describing my symptoms, they took blood. My glucose count would not register on his machine.

When they got the blood sample to the hospital, a week later, I talked to the doctor. He told me that it was juvenile diabetes and that my blood count was and my blood pressure was at stroke level.

The doctor immediately said, 'We're going to have to put you on insulin and put you in the hospital. You shouldn't be up. It was one of those things that was in my family. They said, 'you really don't fall into the family trait of diabetes until you're 35,' and I'd just had my 35th birthday. About a year after the diagnosis, one of Coley's aunts died from the disease.

At the time, the singer was ironically back at the Queen Street church in South Carolina. Daryl remembers the incident as a traumatic one.

The study revealed that more than half of the presidents surveyed have a full-time administrator focused on promoting campus diversity. Some of the presidents also said they call for student affairs faculty, campus diversity committees, and legal guidance when handling racial issues. I use face-to-face meetings of various sizes, open forums, social media, and regular written messages to the campus.

Maintaining a healthy campus climate where everything thrives requires hard work and openness to diverse perspectives every day.
