A group of 12 friends from Atlanta, Georgia have taken their admiration for the singer Beyoncé to a more spiritual level. Zay of www.MapeNation.com reports that Pauline John Andrews is the founder and self-proclaimed “Minister Diva” of the new National Church of Bey.
What is now known as Beyism began about two years ago in a run-down garage in Southwest Atlanta. “There were 12 of us,” Andrews
explained, “and we used to gather every Sunday and sing her songs together. One day, while drinking Moscato and smoking Beyha
(marijuana), we analyzed one of her songs and came to the realization that Beyoncé is truly divine.” From that moment moving forward,
Andrews took the reigns as the leader of the Divine Divas. Some time in the summer of 2013, they adopted the name “National Church of
Bey” and registered themselves as a non-profit institution. Pauline John Andrews proclaimed herself the first Minister Diva of the National
Church of Bey. Through donated funds, and by all 12 members emptying their savings accounts, the church was able to purchase a building
that would become their first temple. The rest is history. Today, the National Church of Bey is thriving and shows no signs of slowing down.
The congregation has grown to 203 official Divine Divas. One random visit to the temple on a Saturday night would prove to be an
interesting experience. You would get to listen to Minister Diva Andrews preach from the principal text of Beyism known to them as the
Beyble. Andrews explains, “Our most sacred text is a compilation of all of Beyoncé’s verses and lyrics. Through our Beyble, we can better
ourselves and strive to become truly Divine Divas.” Shouts of “Surfbort!” were made by fellow divas as a sign of approval for her statement.
Minister Diva Andrews estimates that there are at least 58 million worshippers of Beyism, but 99% of them simply don’t realize it.
