Black Protestants and Pentecostals That Dress Up Like Catholic Bishops

This is one area of the Christian faith I am not sure how developed. See Archbishopderrickyoung's Blog Who is theArchbishop of The Abundant Life International Fellowship Inc. He tells us is " one of the fastest growing Pentecostal Holiness Denominations in the world!"

He actually explains the structure of all this at Understanding Archiepiscopal and Episcopal Grades by Archbishop Mar Derrick L. Young D.D., J.C.D.

Now a lot of that looks like something you would see in any Catholic book on the subject. It is not clear how or why Archbishop Young thinks he is Apostolic succession to these Bishops but I am sure he has some theory somewhere on his blog.

Again this strikes me as strange. I wonder in the important influence of the AME in American Black history is sort of playing a role here.
