Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris, who Donald Trump once named as a spiritual adviser to his administration, announced he was stepping down from Gateway Church amid allegations he molested a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.
The resignation comes days after Morris, 62, seemingly admitted to molesting the girl in a statement to The Christian Post. In that statement, he conceded that he engaged in “inappropriate sexual behavior” with a “young lady” when he was already married with a child in his early 20s.
Morris didn’t mention the girl’s age—but his alleged victim, Cindy Clemishire, told the religious watchdog blog The Wartburg Watch on Friday that she was only 12 when she was first sexually abused by Morris on Christmas Day in 1982. She claimed that he invited her into the room he was staying in at her family home during a visit, and touched her inappropriately on her breasts and “under her panties.”
Yeah, it isn’t like people in the US where megachurches are located have multiple other churches to choose from.
I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or if megachurches just Walmart local churches
Near me, a megachurch has been under construction for two decades has been begging for funds from the very poor community.
Every time I drive by it I hope I see a burned out shell instead. That money could have helped people, Jesus said to pray quietly at home
