Clergy declares minister guilty and suspended
In Atlanta on June 28, Rev. H. E. McBrayer was found guilty of gross imprudence and highly unministerial conduct and suspended by a jury of 13 ministers after a closed hearing. The panel rejected a charge of immorality tied to anti prohibition campaigning. The suspension lasts until the north Georgia conference’s next annual meeting. McBrayer plans to resign or continue services from a suburban temple while deciding his future.
