    The fact that he was allowed to resign rather than being fired reveals a lot about the church. It’s an abomination.

      I understand he was already in the process of handing over leadership to his Son before the story precipitated an expedited retirement. You can't fire him- It's his Ministry he is the President, General Oversea and Founder of the Church --and led the congregation as the Most senior Pastor for years.

      Agree that the pastor should be held accountable, but don't judge another man just because he is related. He didn't do the crime. God said that vengeance is His so let God be the judge so that we don't also commit a sin as well. The same God also said that he sees no one sin greater than another. Meaning Pastor Morris's sin of abuse would not be seen as worse than our judgment of him or the son of Pastor Morris. Let's allow God to be the son's judge.

Don't forget Dr Robert Morris himself is the President, Founder, General overseer and Presiding Most senior Pastor of that Church Congregation.

    The FALSE Church puts false Christians at the very top so the fakeness can trickle down! When any true believer arrives, they quickly make them hate the church and leave. I think people forget that EVERY THING must worship Jesus Christ, even the devils. So just cause they call out “Jesus Jesus or Lord Lord” does NOT mean that they KNOW nor follow Him!
