Greetings from Texas, the miscreant preacher capital of the USA.
Screengrab and headline: Newsweek, 3/12/2025
The founder of a Texas megachurch who resigned as senior pastor last year after he admitted "inappropriate sexual behavior" in the 1980s has been indicted on five criminal counts involving a child, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office said Wednesday.
Robert Morris, 63, who founded Gateway Church in Southlake, is charged with five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, the attorney general’s office said in a statement.
The abuse began in December 1982 when Morris was visiting the Hominy, Oklahoma, home of the victim, the attorney general’s office alleged. He was 21 and she was 12 at the time.

According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of megachurch, as in a church having an extremely large congregation, occurred in 1966.
