In the year 2001, Stallings married Sayomi Kamimoto, a native of Okinawa, Japan, in a ceremony presided over by Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Church. Members of the Imani Temple were so upset by the sudden announcement of the upcoming wedding that some left after services in protest of his "close affiliation with and adoption of doctrine of the Unification Church." In addition, followers of the Imani faith have expressed offense over Stallings' recent comments on black women.
