Billy Graham grandson out as pastor in Florida after affair
Associated Press 1:37 p.m. EDT June 22, 2015

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A prominent Florida megachurch says a grandson of the Rev. Billy Graham has stepped down as its pastor after a "moral failure."

Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church said Monday that Tullian Tchividjian resigned last week for actions that "disqualify him from continuing to serve as senior pastor." The Fort Lauderdale church offered no further details.

Tchividjian did not comment on the matter on his webpage and did not respond to a call seeking comment. In a statement to The Washington Post, he acknowledged having an affair.

He joined the seminary after years of youthful transgressions, offering a prodigal son story when he ascended to the ministry.

He was a rather infamous liar for Jesus regarding Darwinism and Hitler as well as flirting with Christian Reconstructionists.

When they're white, it's "youthful transgressions". When they're black, it's "thuggish criminal hood behavior".

So distraught was he over HER affair, that he ended up seeking comfort in the arms of another woman. Klassy!
