DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS THERE’S A DEVIL LOOSE IN THE CHURCH AND HE IS SADDENED HE HAS TO SAY THESE WORDS FOR OVER THE 20TH TIME IN JUST OVER A MONTH: IF THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE, PASTOR KENNETH FLOWERS OF THE GREATER NEW MT. MORIAH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH NEEDS TO RESIGN POST-HASTE.
A prominent Detroit pastor has been charged with sexually assaulting a 17-YEAR-OLD HIGH SCHOOL BOY in Farmington Hills.
The Rev. Kenneth Flowers, 63, pastor of Detroit’s Greater New Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, was arraigned last week on charges of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and assault with the intent to commit sexual penetration.
Flowers, who lives in Farmington Hills, allegedly used force or coercion to engage in oral sex with the teenager in December.
The attorney listed in court records, Maurice Davis, said he is no longer Flowers’ attorney. The firm he said took the case over, Fried Saperstein and Sakwa PC, said Flowers’ attorney was not available Thursday and declined to give their name.
The woman who answered the phone at the Greater New Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church said she would pass a message along to Flowers, who did not respond for comment Thursday.
The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office declined to comment on the case.
Flowers was given a $25,000 personal bond at his arraignment Friday, where he pleaded not guilty.
Flowers has been the pastor at New Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church since July 1995. The church’s website describes him as a national and international community and social activist for human rights issues. He has traveled across the world to build relationships between people of different races and religions, according to the church’s biography.
