Just 4 Votes Short

A Nashville megachurch fell just four votes shy of tossing out 71 dissatisfied members. The group is suing the leadership of Two Rivers Baptist Church for mishandling finances. Pastor Jerry Sutton put the ouster vote on the table. 663 voted to dismiss the plaintiffs, while 337 voted “no.” The dissenters say Sutton used church funds for his daughter’s wedding among other questionable expenses. Many top leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention attend the church.
