Re: Pastor steals more than $60K from church.

strange story??? I would like to hear more of the details. I don't think a church that would prosecute their pastor for theft would want him to continue in the leading of the church. I think there is a lot more to the story.

There are people that will follow their pastor off a cliff if he asked them to.

Article implies that maybe the board membership changed in his favor.

I think that 60 Gs were the least of the problems for this guy.

Anyone know him or this church?

The important thing is that he preaches Acts 2:38.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Pastor steals more than $60K from church.

The investigation has also exposed two additional police reports on Holder, one in which he was written up for being caught in a sex act with another man in a rear lot of a vacant building. The other details an assault on a man in Holder's church, in which Holder forcibly removed a man from a pew by the belt. No charges were filed.
