Hi other than the show "Amen", there was another religious tv show about a young minister who came to take over an old church. I can remember the name of the show and none of the actors were nor are they now notable. The show aired sometime in the 90's, but after "Amen". Does anyone know the names of any other comedy-type-religous tv shows?

I liked that one a lot, especially with all the Home Improvement crossovers.

I wouldn't really call it "religious", but Black Jesus (2014-19) featured a black Jesus in modern day Compton with his new disciples (homies).
