Bishop Bobby Davis dies as wife forced him to confess his infidelity in church(Photo)

A Connecticut bishop died in front of his congregation Sunday after his family reportedly publicly confronted him about a past act of infidelity that his wife of 50 years, Christine, pushed him to confess.Bishop Bobby Davis of Miracle Faith World Outreach Church ,was also a certified marriage and family therapist
According to Judy Stovall ,a church elder..

"After the service on Sunday the bishop's family asked us to remain in the church and the bishop confessed to us something that happened long ago,He wanted to come clean with all of us. He wanted to ask our forgiveness."
"We were shouting, 'We forgive you, we love you.' But the stress of all of it -- he had a heart attack,I held his head as he lay on the floor. … Our congregation is hurting now."

One source, who asked not to be identified during an interview said the confession wasn't that clean-cut based on what they were told, and feels the situation could have been handled better.

"He (Bishop Davis) had confessed it (infidelity) personally to his wife prior to the service, and she called a meeting after church with just the members and the members stayed. He wasn't there at the time, he was somewhere else apparently, neither of them were in the service that morning. They had one of their pastors do the service.From what I was told, she (pastor's wife) told the congregation what he had done. And so, when he comes through the door he had no idea what he was walking into. So it wasn't even. 'We're gonna make an announcement today' ... in aunified way as a couple..
"I'm told that when he walked through the door she basically told him, 'Tell them what you just told me,' which is what induced the heart attack, because it's not like he was walking into it knowing.She said it and he said, 'Yes, that's right.' She asked him to say who exactly it was. And he said, 'Well, it doesn't matter [because] that person has passed. God forgive, let's get past it.' Apparently it was his family members who reacted out in anger, from what I understand. It was not the congregation," the source noted.

"It got physical. One of the sons attacked him. I was told one of the daughters poured water on him. It was like something out of, not even like the Old Testament, but a bad reality TV show," said the source. "My heart is so devastated because it could have been handled in a private manner."

The source, whom Bishop Davis once pastored, said his confession must have been difficult for the family to handle because he was "a very black and white preacher."
