George Augustus Stallings Jr. (born March 17, 1948) is the founder of the Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation and was long active in the Black Catholic Movement. He served as a Catholic priest from 1974 to 1989, and was based in Washington, D.C., for many years. He established the Imani Temple as an independent denomination in 1989, making a public break in 1990 with the Roman Catholic Church on The Phil Donahue Show.
