Re: Another Pastor Arrested
I have not figured out why court proceeding are just now happening because in one of the articles about this case it says he was arrested in 2013.

My best guess is that it has taken so long because it involves multiple minor children.

Re: Another Pastor Arrested
Hmmm. I can't find a single reference to this guy on the interwebs EXCEPT in reference to this case. Can't find a single reference to him prior to his arrest in 2013.
He is said to br a former UPC pastor in Taylorville, but the only UPC I could find in the area is First UPC in Tuscaloosa, with no online record of this guy's existence as a pastor.
Strange...
The timing of every news site in the world releasing this story NOW is interesting as well, right after Kim Davis the democrat apostolic was all in the news...

Re: Another Pastor Arrested
It is easily ascertained why the news reports are coming now, though it was covered two years back upon his arrest. He had a court appearance where he might have entered a plea this week. Thus a news article was warranted. Court date is now set for November. It is not Taylorville, it is Thomasville alabama.

As Reader already pointed out the town is Thomasville not Taylorville and I believe the church is called New Life Pentecostal Church". Obviously he is not going to be in the current UPCI directory since he was arrested in 2013. I don't know if they have printed copies of the ministerial directory but if they do and we have any UPC ministers reading this they could look in a 2012 one and see if this guy's name is in there.

Re: Another Pastor Arrested
It wouldn't matter if his name is not in 2012. The charges go back to the 80s and 90s.

Re: Another Pastor Arrested
I hate to sat this, but if this is true then the presbytery was not very sensitive!
But if this IS true, even if this individual was NOT in the UPCI, we are forewarned
of coming hostilities against the Ministry and the Church. Could be there was a
"hidden message" in the pope's speech...
