Talbert Wesley Swan II (born April 24, 1965) is an American pastor of the Church Of God In Christ serving as the "Bishop" of the Nova Scotia Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, in Canada.
The Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) is a Pentecostal-Holiness Christian denomination with a predominantly African-American membership with more than 12,000 churches and over 6.5 million members in the United States.
The National Council of Churches ranks it as the fifth largest Christian denomination in the U.S.
Swan is the fourth leader of the Jurisdiction and oversees COGIC congregations in the province.
He serves the denomination as Assistant General Secretary and Senior Advisor to Charles Edward Blake, Sr., the Presiding Bishop. Swan is also the National Chaplain of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.
and the host of a radio talk show, The Spoken Word.
He is a civil rights activist and the president of the Greater Springfield NAACP.
Criticized by some as a "rabble rouser" or "race baiter," Valley Advocate journalist Maureen Turner wrote, "If Springfield has moved one inch towards rectifying its racial problems in the past year, it is fair to say a full three quarters of that inch is the result of sustained efforts by the Rev.
