Oh well, I'm sure he won't do it again because he learned his lesson in prison and prisons are the best moral schools for pastors.
Quote:Houston Pastor convicted in $3.6M fraud case returns to megachurch after prison release
Houston pastor KirbyJon Caldwell has returned to the megachurch he helped build in southwest Houston.
His return to Windsor Village Church on Sunday comes nearly a year after his early release from prison last year, after pleading guilty to wire fraud.
Caldwell, who once served as a spiritual adviser to Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, served time behind bars in Beaumont for defrauding investors out of nearly $3.6 million. Federal court documents show Caldwell's co-conspirator was "responsible for finding investors." Caldwell says no one from his church was defrauded.
Court documents show Caldwell paid full restitution.
His congregation and friends welcomed him with open arms.
"It's such a blessing to have our visionary pastor back at church. We are so excited," a member of the church said.
Cleaver and others in the community said they believe Caldwell has repented and is touched by God to continue his work.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
