Easter Split Tears at Rocky Mount Church as Factions Clash
In Rocky Mount North Carolina Easter services were split when two factions each brought a different minister to deliver the sermon at Bible Missionary Baptist. Rev Samuel H W Johnston Jr remained barred by a court restraining order from entering the church. About half of the 200 worshippers walked out as Rev Gene Gurganus preached and Rev Johnston Sr. arrived with placards. A May 6 hearing on the restraining order is set in Wilson.
