A historic Black church in Northern Virginia will no longer offer an annual Christmas concert at the Kennedy Center, the latest in a wave of cancellations since President Trump replaced the center’s board of directors.

Alfred Street Baptist Church, founded in 1803 in Alexandria, joins a growing list of Black and LGBTQ-friendly acts that have cut ties with the arts institution after Mr. Trump became its chairman last week.

The Rev. Howard-John Wesley, the church’s senior pastor, said he informed his congregation of the decision on Sunday “after deep prayer, discernment and a commitment to staying true to our mission as a church.”

“Recent shifts in leadership philosophy appear to be misaligned with the values we hold dear as a faith community,” Mr. Wesley told The Washington Times. “We cannot, in good conscience, support an institution that does not uphold inclusivity and the celebration of diverse artistic traditions.”

Supporters of the president’s changes noted Alfred Street’s history of liberal politics.

Gregory T. Angelo, president of the right-leaning New Tolerance Campaign, pointed to past social media posts from Mr. Wesley that “equated people who didn’t mask during COVID with the KKK and admonished evangelical leaders who support President Trump .”

“This is the same church that preached a sermon from the pulpit called ’ Stay Woke ,’” Mr. Angelo said. “This is a classic case of a preacher in search of a spotlight.”

The Times has reached out to the Kennedy Center and the White House for comment.

A flurry of firings, condemnations and canceled subscriptions have unfolded over the past week as Mr. Trump’s team takes a chainsaw to five years of diversity, equity and inclusion-based arts programs.

The Trump-controlled center has since canceled a world tour for its children’s musical “Finn,” citing financial constraints. It premiered in November and tells the story of a young shark who discovers he fits in better with gentler and smaller fish — a theme its creators proposed as a metaphor for LGBTQ relationships.

Also gone without explanation is a concert featuring the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, that was scheduled for May 21. It has been replaced by “ The Wizard of Oz in Concert ,” a show that features the National Symphony Orchestra playing the soundtrack of the 1939 film live as audience members sing along with the characters.

Artists connected to diversity-focused programs have objected strongly to the new direction. Opera star Renée Fleming and alternative rock singer Ben Folds resigned from advisory roles at the center.

Other acts cutting ties to the Kennedy Center include actress Issa Rae, television producer Shonda Rhimes, Canadian LGBTQ singer-songwriter Amanda Rheaume and Philadelphia rock band Low Cut Connie.

“My extended Low Cut Connie community includes black, white, gay, straight, transgender, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, atheist, and immigrant individuals — all of whom are wonderful upstanding Americans,” Adam Weiner, the band’s frontman, posted on Instagram. “Many of these folks will be directly negatively affected by this Administration’s policies and messaging.”

Not all artists have cut ties, however.

Black comedian W. Kamau Bell, host of the Emmy Award-winning CNN series “United Shades of America,” defended his decision to go ahead with a previously scheduled standup show at the center.

“I think Joe Biden was still running for president when the show was booked,” Mr. Bell told NPR’s “Morning Edition” on Monday. “So like, this was not connected to any of this.”

According to supporters of the changes, Mr. Trump has rolled back an “ideological capture of the arts” that elevated race and sexuality above entertainment in the center’s artistic choices.

Fisher Derderian, executive director of the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation, a conservative art advocacy group, said it’s “misplaced” to suggest the end of DEI programs means Black or gay performers are no longer welcome at Kennedy.

“The Kennedy Center has every reason to continue celebrating the Black Church’s influence on American culture,” said Mr. Dederian, an arts commissioner for Costa Mesa, California. “There is no indication that the new leadership intends to move away from that.”

Founded in 1958, the Kennedy Center receives public funding for physical upkeep but relies on private donations to support its programs.

In 2019, the center launched a “social impact” program that pledged “to advance justice and equity in all that we do.”

The venue has since hosted several drag shows and a diversity-focused staging of “The Nutcracker.” It also offered the musical “& Juliet” — a feminist retelling of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” as a lesbian romance — in the weeks before Mr. Trump’s inauguration.

Mr. Trump replaced Biden administration appointees to the nonprofit’s 36-member board with loyalists to his administration after singling out “Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth” in a Feb. 7 post on Truth Social.

On Feb. 10, the president named Ric Grenell, his former national security director, as temporary president of the Kennedy Center. The new board elected Mr. Trump as its chairman on Feb. 12.
