Gateway Church Board of Elders release statement on Robert Morris' sexual abuse allegations

The Gateway Church board of elders says it accepted Morris' resignation Tuesday and retained a law firm to investigate the allegations.

[RicTheStreetPreacher]

Should have fired him instead of letting him resign.

[dukepeterson]

They’re not accusations. He admitted to it but lied about the details.

[rascallyrabbit]

all these elders were complicit. the catholic church did the same. protected their little evil doers. why do people bother with church? read the Bible and obey it.

[Foxygrandpa]

It DID NOT come to light over the past few days. This woman has come forward in the past.

[tashajones]

It's about time these demons in the pulpit get exposed🎉🎉🎉. The wife & the church all complicit to his crimes. I tell ppl the the DEVIL is in the church😔

[paladro]

they covered for him, willingly... only conceding when it turned out to be a child.

[johnmckenna]

Empty words coming from a church that's doing damage control, no real repentance, no true godly sorrow, and they are complicit in the cover-up of Morris's crimes. Crimes that continued for over 4 years. Jail time for all these creeps!!!

[GodBlessYou]

It happened many years before
Robert Morris founded
Gateway Church and then in 1989
Robert Morris dealt with this information publicly and he Repented and received counseling for 2 years
and was forgiven this is what The Lord Jesus Christ taught is supposed to be done, then the person is supposed to be forgiven and restored, their past sins are
not supposed to be held over his head his entire life,
it's been more than 40 years, she was 12 now she is 54

[garylefevers]

"come to light?". Are they serious?

[rubytuesday]

The Board is Christian like I have 14 toes. Zero Christian wrath. Zero focus on the crime, rather than a wet noodle blanket thrown over the Congregation. Best to replace the Board ASAP.

[THETexxStarr]

Urging "potential victims" to come forward!!!! Even they think there may be more!!!

[Star-Mac]

This crimal should be imprisoned. The "leaders" KNEW about this crime and did NOTHING. Never again will I have anything to do with this "church". The truth can not be suffocated. I stopped attending this church immediately after I witnessed Robert Morris sitting unmasked at a White House event during the height of the Co Pan. He could have easily carried the illness to his congregation, but obviously was beyond arrogant and couldn't care less. Jesus sees all.

[terrypurvis]

They should be more compassionate to the victim, it was a child not a woman

[MarkTorres-iv]

He resigns with 100 million in the bank

[pathofnature]

Nothing's going to happen...just move on and keep tithing to us so we can live luxuriously.

[hillbillybeerdranker]

Lets forgive him and restore him to his pastorship. Nobody is perfect.

[LonnieSipsyMD-lsqk]

Then, his scandalous wife has the nerve to say to the victim that “I forgive you..” lays the blame off the husband onto the victim!

[trulyso]

Why is that board disturbed by his resignation? The board is suss too.

[caroletta]

Isn't there something that can be done to hold this man accountable????

[Mutasis_Mutandis]

The whole place needs to be disbanded.
