Former Alabama preacher charged.

     A former employee of Faulkner University in Montgomery (when it was called Alabama Christian College), 86 year old Clarence Caldwell Arquitt, Jr, has been charged with child abuse by authorities in Georgia...the second preacher with ties to this area to face sex related charges this week. The other was a Prattville minister charged with possessing child porn.
    WXIA TV reports the victim was his granddaughter when she was between the ages of 3 and 8.
     The Church of Christ minister is fighting extradition to Georgia, where the abuse allegedly happened, from North Carolina.
     Arquitt worked in four other states, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports authorities in those states are investigating to see if there was abuse in their jurisdictions.

    As the Rt. Rev. Henry Parsley said in a clergy conference a few years ago--"It's about clergy conduct, not clergy misconduct."
