Richmond Church Leadership Placed Under Resignation Pressure
In Richmond, July 1, Woodland Heights Baptist Church faced a vote to adopt a resolution demanding Rev. W A Gunton resign. The pastor declined to support the motion, while Deacon J B Saider’s resignation was proposed but defeated. After services, an executive session and a preacher’s speech followed, and a motion for his resignation was not acted on. Tensions arose over Miss Julia Priddy’s conduct at a reception hosted at the governor’s mansion for the high school grad class, prompting governance questions about the church.
