Did Anyone Here Know Rev John David Terry?

[Bro. Robbins]

John David Terry was part of the fellowship I am now a part of, the Emmanuel Churches of Christ-Pentecostal. Believe it or not, even with all the evidence, there were some that believed him to be innocent, and the organization actually had a split over this. Of course this is many, many years ago, but it hurt the organization deeply.

The organization has had a long, rough road in trying to heal after this happened, and just now is experiencing a rebirth in Revival, return to Holiness, and growth in attendance. My membership is at the headquarters church and there are some members there that were in Rev. Terry's church. When they speak of it, and they seldom do, you can see the very deep, deep hurt in their eyes from what happened.

It's sad, but I'm very proud to say our Bishop led the organization through the rough waters, and for those that remained in our fellowship, we are now getting stronger and moving forward for the cause of Christ.
