Three masked gunmen entered the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries Church in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn around 11:15 a.m. Sunday, where they approached Bishop Lamor M. Whitehead, 44, and his wife, and took off with allegedly over a million dollars. of jewellery, according to the police.

In front of the camera, Whitehead begins to look scared before saying "alright, alright, alright" several times as he gently smacks the ground on the altar.

"That - 'alright, alright, alright' - is like saying I don't want to, I'm not going to do anything, alright, because I know you're all coming for me, you all come straight to me. I don't want my parishioners to get hurt," Whitehead told CBS News.

Whitehead said the alleged thieves stole his bishop's ring and chain, as well as his wedding band, and took all of his wife's jewelry.

The Bishop has earned a reputation for being "flashy", often wearing fancy designer costumes and jewelry, as seen on his Instagram.

Whitehead's lifestyle choices have drawn mixed reactions on social media.

"It's not about being flashy. It's about buying what I want to buy," he said on Instagram. "It's my prerogative to buy what I want to buy. If I've worked hard for it, I can buy what I want to buy."

Bishop Whitehead says his parish is “traumatized,” taking to his Instagram Live on Tuesday to preach a sermon on healing.
