Following the death of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, evangelical leaders and supporters have hailed him as a martyr, framing his killing as an attack on Christianity and a spiritual battle, while emphasizing themes of faith, patriotism, and political activism.
Gateway Church's senior pastor, Robert Morris, has resigned following revelations of decades-old child sex abuse allegations. The church's board of elders, led by Kenneth W. Fambro II, struggled with the decision, citing Morris' significant impact on the church and his past transparency about moral failures. The victim, Cindy Clemishire, disputes Morris' transparency and criticizes the church's handling of the situation. The allegations were made public by The Wartburg Watch, leading to internal and public scrutiny of the church's response.
