The Christian Post reports:
Despite statements from elders of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, and their founding Pastor Robert Morris suggesting that he stepped away from ministry for two years to undergo a carefully monitored restoration process following a “moral failure” — sexually abusing a girl over multiple years in the 1980s beginning when she was 12 — he was back in ministry just one month after he was confronted about the abuse.
The 62-year-old Morris made the admission in his 2011 book, Dream to Destiny. The description he provides in the book coincides with the timeline of the molestation confirmed by himself, his accuser, Cindy Clemishire, 54, and the elders of Gateway Church. Prior to those circumstances, which he did not disclose in the book, Morris admitted he was struggling with pride — not a sexual attraction to a pre-teen girl.
Read the full article. There’s more. There’s always more.
In his book, Morris writes that after a month of working as a Motel 6 security guard, he decided to return to his ministry because he’d “made great strides toward humility.”

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus.https://t.co/bTz4ibdt21

Having sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl is not “inappropriate” or a “moral failure.” It’s a crime. It should also be immediately disqualifying to be a Christian pastor. What is wrong with these people?https://t.co/lSRYJ3Ft7j

JUST IN: The Texas megachurch pastor who advised Donald Trump has confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior” with a child who was 12 years old at the time.
This is so disgusting but not surprising, and Trump is connected:
