Michael James Shover is the pastor at Pella’s Christ the Redeemer Church. He was at the Iowa State Capitol. He got in a shouting match with LGBTIQA protesters and said they were all devoid of morals. He then asked “Why is pedophilia wrong?” The video went viral and he claims criticism is out of context and that it was a rhetorical question. Maybe so, but why does he entertain the question at all?

Steve Morgan is the lead pastor at Joshua Church in Austin, Texas. He founded The Network, a collaboration of evangelical charismatic churches. Before that, though, he was convicted of raping a fifteen-year-old boy.

He was convicted in 1986. He was offered diversion, a way to get a clean criminal record. .

But he never divulged his history to his congregation. He could tell this story as one of redemption through faith, but instead he hid it from people who brought their children to church with them.
