Te'Andrea Henderson and Charles Wilson were forced to relocate their wedding to another church following complaints from some members of the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs congregation. The pastor, Rev. Stan Weatherford, still officiated at the wedding but gave the couple only a few days notice of the venue change.
"We, the church, realize that the Hendersons and Wilsons should never have been asked to relocate their wedding. This wrong decision resulted in hurt and sadness for everyone," says the "statement of restoration and reconciliation" issued on Sunday by the church. "Both the pastor and those involved in the wedding location being changed have expressed their regrets and sorrow for their actions.
“As a church, we express our apology to Te'Andrea and Charles Wilson for the hurt that was brought to them in the hours preceding their wedding and beyond.
“We are seeking forgiveness and reconciliation with our Lord Jesus Christ, Te'Andrea and Charles, family and friends of the Hendersons and Wilsons, our church family, and our community for the actions and attitudes that have recently occurred.
“We the membership of First Baptist Church Crystal Springs, hold the position that we should be open to all people. Our desire is to restore the church to be a spiritual lighthouse in doing the Lord's will in Crystal Springs and in Mississippi.”
The Henderson's family continue to attend the church.
