Lawson also resigned from OnePassion Ministries. Elders issued statement stressing 'discipline' and 'a God of order' following removal. Andrew Curry currently preaching. Elder board intact and exercised biblical discipline.

Enrichment Notes

Major pastor-field correction. Elders exercised biblical discipline well (which is green-tier behavior); pulpit stability is yellow until permanent replacement.
