Baptist Church Hires Convicted Child Molester as Pastor 😮

Darrell Gilyard molested two girls and was sentenced to three years in prison. There were additional allegations outside the state of Florida. Making matters worse, his SBC “mentor” was disgraced leader Paige Patterson, who downplayed those accusations. He said some were untrue — without evidence. He also said some of the women making the claims were “not innocent either” — which is nothing more than Victim Blaming 101. Gilyard is back in the news now because, as it turns out, he’s got a new job at a new church. Far from being “canceled,” the registered sex offender is the new pastor at Mount Ararat Baptist Church in Jacksonville.
