The Flamingos

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

Some time ago the Flamingos were identified here as a Jewish doo wop
group.  Below is an excerpt from the All Music Guide.  My question is,
what is a "black Jewish church"?

                           Both prolific and seminal in their
influence and impact, the
                           Flamingos may have been the greatest
harmonizing vocal
                           ensemble ever, and were certainly among the
premier units of the
                           doo wop/R&B era. Cousins Jake and Zeke
Carey moved to
                           Chicago from Baltimore in 1950. They met
Paul Wilson and
                           Johnny Carter at the Church of God and
Saints of Christ
                           Congregation, a black Jewish church.
