A Virginia pastor is facing protest from thousands of online supporters of a late longtime member and grandmother of his congregation who he allegedly blocked from being buried in the church’s cemetery with many of her departed family members due to a dispute over tithes.
Officials at First Baptist Church of Hollins told the late Alice Garrison’s family that her remains could not be buried in its cemetery – because Garrison wasn’t a member when she died. Family members said Garrison was a faithful member, though infirmities kept her away in recent years. And that she donated to the church as recently as Janaury.
