[A.A. Cunningham]

Since you enjoy digging up old stories and commenting on them do you have any words about the conviction of a fellow Baptist fleecing the flock back in 1999 or are you speechless as usual when it's one of your own?

Convicted minister (Henry Lyons) returns to Fla. pulpit

"Lyons served nearly five years on grand theft and racketeering charges for using his former role as president of the National Baptist Convention to steal millions of dollars to finance his lavish lifestyle. The scheme fell apart after Lyons' wife set a fire at a home he had secretly bought with his mistress."

Wiki on Lyons present status:

“In April 2007 Lyons was defeated in an attempt to be re-elected President of the Florida Baptist Convention [18]. Subsequently he and his supporters organized the General Baptist State Convention of Florida [19], of which he is the President. He has been frequently mentioned as a candidate for the Presidency of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. for the 2009 election.”
