A pastor in Kenya has been fired from his job after he was caught red-handed with a married woman in a hotel room. The pastor of a church in the town of Embu, who had been caught with the married woman on Sunday, addressed his congregation and called for forgiveness. Pastor Anthony Maina of the Kenya Assemblies of God Eastern Gate Church, arrived along with his wife Beth, and two children, and said he didn't commit adultery with the girl when they were caught in the accommodation in the town of Karatina, Nyeri County.
“I’m here to tell everyone that I made a mistake, and I have sought God’s forgiveness. The incident saved me because I would have committed more sins,” he said. The church announced that it had suspended the pastor indefinitely.
“The pastor has committed a crime that goes against the teachings of God, and therefore, he can no longer serve in the church,” a spokesperson for the church said.
Beth said that she had forgiven her husband, saying that they have to come together and move forward as a family.a
