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.
