NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A longtime pastor has been returned to Tennessee to face charges that he molested several children during his time leading a Nashville congregation.

Patterson was extradited to Nashville on Friday.
He served as pastor of Nolensville Road Baptist Church. After his resignation, authorities say church members went to police with complaints about his requests to "engage in strange activities" with children.

I expect some of the anti-gay hate groups like "Family Research Council" to have a molester in their ranks, and they covered up for the pervert.
Like the Catholic church STILL does.

years the more I hear somebody who is so upset about gay sex and what would
Jesus think the more I think, "closet case."
* if you are not into homosexual sex than don't do it.
