The next day, a longtime associate of Mr. Adams had been charged in a straw donor scheme to raise money for his mayoral campaign; the mayor was not implicated. Amid the wave of negative news, Mr. Adams chose to lay low. “Hard is having someone talk down to you and expect for you to take it no matter what they say and what they do,” Mr. Adams told the parishioners. Carmel Baptist Church and the Fire Department chaplain, conducted a morning prayer with Mr. Adams. Andrew M. Cuomo was being investigated for sexual harassment, he visited a Black church in Harlem with political leaders, and was often photographed with Latino and Black members of the clergy.

When Mayor Eric Adams began to talk frequently about God a few months back — how God elevated him to lead New York City, how Mr. Adams implemented policy with a “godlike” approach, how the separation of church and state was misguided — his timing was no accident. He was, he says, responding to the same divine voice he heard decades ago, the one that he says prophesied that he would become mayor on Jan. 1, 2022. “The same voice I heard 32 years ago spoke to me a few months ago and said, ‘Talk about God, Eric,’” Mr. Adams said on Thursday at the Christian Cultural Center, a Brooklyn megachurch that has become a favored political pulpit for many. “‘Talk about God.’”Mr. Adams made his comments on the National Day of Prayer, a day of observance created by President Harry S. Truman, a Democrat, in 1952. But few New York City mayors have chosen to formally commemorate the day or to speak so fervently about religion — especially not in the way Mr. Adams has.
