We’re fed up with the #churchtoo corruption in Michael Curry’s office, with Dallas Bishop George Sumner, and the rector of St. James in Texarkana, David J.A. Halt.
Bishop George Sumner preached in Texarkana today. In his sermon, he appears to be teeing up for coming legal and clergy disciplinary issues involving #churchtoo and a young woman connected to St. James.
