The Root reports:

The internet is outraged after a clip of a Virginia church service has now gone viral. In the video, Pastor Terry W. Jackson of True Vine Apostolic Church brings a young, unidentified woman to the podium to apologize to the whole congregation for being pregnant out of wedlock.

“We don’t condone sin,” the pastor told the congregation after the woman’s statement. “Ain’t no baby showers. You have a baby out of wedlock ain’t nobody in this church bout to attend one.”

After the Sunday, Jan. 5 incident, one man confronted the pastor for embarrassing the young girl. In a video he took confronting Pastor Jackson, the man asked “Are you the pastor that publicly shamed that lady?” He was eventually kicked out the church by “the church goons,” as he called them.

Vanguard News reports:

The clip, shared on Instagram by media personality and journalist Jemele Hill, originates from the True Vine Apostolic Church in Hampton, VA, led by Bishop Terry Jackson and First Lady Sister Paulette Jackson.

In the video, the visibly emotional teenager stands before a full congregation, stating, “I want to apologize to everybody in here because I am pregnant… I’m sorry y’all. I just hope that y’all all forgive me.”

Among the voices of support is television host Sunny Hostin, who commented, “I will host the baby shower. Pls contact me sweetheart. Your baby will be celebrated and loved.”

The congregation gave the young girl a standing ovation for apologizing for her sin.
