There are moments when you want to ask: Just what God do you serve? This is one of those moments.
The Christ Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church is not your typical black Southern Baptist gathering spot. Most churches don’t knowingly keep convicted child molesters in the pulpit, but this church seems to feel that it’s OK to break with tradition. The church’s pastor, Darrell Gilyard, is a registered sex offender who was just three years ago, pleaded guilty of lewd conduct and molestation of two underage girls.
The incidents took place while Gilyard was the pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church. Gilyard admitted to molesting a 15-year old girl and sending lewd text messages to another. The plea agreement says that Gilyard cannot have “unsupervised contact with children under 18 years old.”
Gilyard’s new church is not only sympathetic to his “condition,” it has also taken extraordinary steps to protect its new pastor from his temptations. Children of all ages have been banned from Gilyard’s church so he can remain in the pulpit. After being released from prison just two months ago, Gilyard is now leading another flock in the quest to praise the “lawud.”
Make sure to read the rest of the story here.
Dear Lord!!!!!
