After telling the congregation at the Miracle Faith World Outreach Church that he had been unfaithful to his wife, Bishop Bobby Davis died.
"After the service on Sunday the bishop's family asked us to remain in the church and the bishop confessed to us something that happened long ago," church elder Judy Stovall told the Connecticut Post. "He wanted to come clean with all of us. He wanted to ask our forgiveness."
Before he died, church members were screaming at Davis to show him their support.
"We were shouting, 'We forgive you, we love you,' but the stress of all of it -- he had a heart attack," Stovall said.

Why couldn’t Bill Clinton do this?

There’s a point. Who else would have known but those whom he cheated with. The wife would probably not have wanted the gossip of a tell all. That does sound kind of low come to think of it.

The idea is to repudiate and forsake the sinning. The applause is for stopping it. It’s a Christian thang. Of course the revenge-wanting world is not okay with it.

It was the first thing that popped to mind on seeing that image.

I’m somehow not feeling very sorry for him.

Have you never heard of confession or asking for forgiveness? He only had to get right with the Lord. He decided to get right with his congregation as well.

It’s pathetic to applaud a confession.
I’m not impressed.

Might keeping the offering plates full have had anything to do with his decision for a public confession?

If that was his objective, it has been overtaken by events.
