BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — The Housing Authority Birmingham District (HABD) Board of Commissioners voted on Monday to end its partnership with Church of the Highlands (COTH) due to recent social media controversy involving the church pastor, Chris Hodges.
Pastor Hodges recently submitted a public apology to his church members after “liking” social media posts that were perceived as racist and offensive to people in the African-American community.
HABD Board of Commissioners felt that Pastor Hodges’ views did not reflect those of HABD and its residents.
Today, Hodges left the church because of what they are calling a "moral failing", reportedly a relationship with a woman who is not his wife.
AL.COM reports: All references to Michael Hodges were removed from the church's web site in September and his social media accounts were deactivated. Since Sept. 25, Charles Kelly has been listed on the church web site as the pastor of the Greystone campus.
