The Blazwire
8h ·Bishop Dr. Theodis Stewart, a pastor in Mississippi, is facing backlash after screenshots appeared to show his church publicly listing members who allegedly failed to pay tithes.
According to the viral posts, the church announced that the members' memberships had been revoked and claimed it had previously contacted them privately, even offering automatic bank drafts for recurring tithes. The screenshots quickly spread online, sparking debate over church finances and accountability. Critics called the alleged actions inappropriate and overly focused on money, while others argued that financial support is an important responsibility for church members.
The church's Facebook page has since been deactivated, but the screenshots continue to circulate.
