Condemnation of the
Administrative Commission
at Heights Presbyterian Church: Houston, Texas
Heights Presbyterian Church is suffocating in darkness and it is because the
minister? Joe Delgatto is being supported in his bad acts, his corruption, his
apathy, and his arrogance by the Administrative Commission and the Presbytery of
New Covenant who appointed it.
In the four months since its appointment, the Administrative Commission has had
no open congregation meetings. The only discussions with the congregation
occurred three months ago when each member was allowed ten minutes to speak in
isolation to one half of the Administrative Commission.
There has been no meetings with the entire session other than one meeting on
March 24, 2003, when the twelve members of the session were allowed to speak for
about five minutes each before a fourteen page edict was read by Reagan Brown,
attorney for the Administrative Commission, to the session members who were not
allowed to interrupt or question the content of the Interim Report.
Two members of the Administrative Commission were attending Sunday service, Roy
Keezel, attorney at law and Rev? Louise Rowe. Now neither attends. The
reason is that they cannot face the senior members who continue to attend
church. The reason is that they cannot in good conscience come into the
house of the Lord when the Lord can so easily see into their hearts.
None of the members of the Administrative Commission can afford to show their
face in a place where the congregation knows that they have done so many bad
acts and have refused to do anything to try to heal the deep divisions that now
exist in the congregation.
There is almost no energy left in the church. There is no joy, there is no
uplifting, there is no peace that should come when one attends Heights
Presbyterian Church.
The Administrative Commission has supported about a dozen members of the
congregation and ignored and acted contemptuously of the rest.
The church is losing about $2,500 per week because half the members have stopped
their contributions. Some of these members have begun to refuse to
attend church functions and events where Delgatto will be present. The only
money available to pay the continuing deficit is the $200,000 balance of a $1
million bequest to the church six years ago. This bequest was from the
estate of John Fakes, the son of the founder of Heights Presbyterian Church.
The vast majority of the Fakes bequest has been embezzled in the last five years
that Delgatto has been the minister. Three weeks ago the picture of Mr.
Fakes was removed from the foyer of the church because the Administrative
Commission and their corrupt lackeys could not deal with him looking at them
even from a photograph.
Within the last month, virtually all the memorial plaques in the church have
been removed and the memorials destroyed. This is in an effort to purge
from the church any history of the half of the congregation and their parents
who founded and maintained the church over the last 100 years.
All this is being done with the blessing of the Administrative Commission.
Patty Ellis, who came to Heights Presbyterian Church about three years ago, has
been the driving force behind this desecration. Last week the plaque with
the names of the members who built the present sanctuary was removed from the
foyer.
A year ago, a Satanic Pentagram was spray painted on the side of the church.
There was a resistance by Patty Ellis and Joe Delgatto to remove the sign.
In fact, Walter Ellis made it known that it would not be removed. A few
members of the church did remove the majority of the Pentagram but the smudge is
still there.
Money is being spent to fix up a building which each day serves less and less as
a church and more and more as the private club of about twenty rogue members.
Lots of money to do things but not a single dime to remove all traces of the
Pentagram.
The Administrative Commission must be talking to some of the members of the
session because there is this constant spending of money. Yet, no formal
session or congregational meeting has been called to discuss these expenditures.
All this is hidden from the congregation. Not a single report has been
issued about anything but the corrupt HUD Independent Heights Project which the
Administrative Commission is determined to push through.
As I said, none of the members of the Administrative Commission are members of
Heights Presbyterian Church or even attend worship service nor are they
communicating with the members of the congregation or the session as a body.
There are no efforts being made to heal the church. If anything there is
an ongoing effort by the Administrative Commission to drive away the members who
have been in the church for three to five decades and who opposed their bad
acts.
There have been no new members received into the church for almost a year.
There is no outreach program in the community. There is only the spending
of the balance of the John Fakes money.
There can be little doubt that the Administrative Commission's mandate from Mike
Cole, General Presbyter of Presbytery of New Covenant, is to allow the corrupt
members to spend the church's assets until the church is bankrupt. Then
Heights Presbyterian Church can be closed and its property sold for about $2
million along with the $7 million worth of retirement home assets which the
church owns.
The Heights House and Heights Tower are HUD retirement homes that will be
eligible in about eight years to be converted into apartments or condos because
the 40 year obligation to maintain the homes as retirement facilities will be
over. And the Heights is showing a significant rebirth.
The time is soon coming when this matter will be resolved and those who have
corrupted the Presbyterian Church on all levels will be rebuked and those who
have stolen will be required to repay and those who have used the church for the
purpose of inflating their egos will be shamed and from those who have closed
off the membership of Heights Presbyterian Church, which is an abomination to
Christ and a scandal on the gospel, they will be confronted with their
abominable acts.
The old and new Testaments are filled with miracles and God's wrath. The
old Testament is full of examples of what happens to those who thwart the will
of God and forsake His name.
When Job asked God, why the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer, God did not
answer but only asked Job who he was to ask God what God was doing.
I have faith, more than most. I have had it all my life; before I even
understood anything about Jesus or Christianity. I was not born again.
I was born once and never lost sight of God and my mortality and the fact that
when I leave this life I will take only my words, acts and deeds.
I do not know how things are going to turn out in this matter but I have a
lifetime of experience in faith. I have a lifetime of dealing with
situations just like the one at Heights Presbyterian Church. And from that
experience, I know that I did not come into this particular situation without a
reason.
I was raised in Heights Presbyterian Church and I have no doubt that I was
called back for a purpose. The purpose has as much to do with my spiritual
development and growth as it does with every member of Heights Presbyterian
Church and every member of the Presbyterian Church USA.
I believe that God has determined to make a statement and I believe we are all
part of that plan.
What I know for sure is that there is presently an attempt by Joe Delgatto,
Patty Ellis, the Administrative Commission, the Presbytery of New Covenant and
some of the officers of the Presbyterian Church to choke off the membership of
Heights Presbyterian Church. I believe that it is worse for one to do evil
things in the name of Christ than it is to reject Christ altogether.
I believe that a day of reckoning is fast approaching but there is still time
for those who are attempting to corrupt Heights Presbyterian Church to quit
their wrong doing. I also believe from a life time of faith that God is
about to speak clearly such that everyone can hear and understand.
In the meantime, I will continue to do the things that I am led to do in this
matter. I do not answer to any man. I never have and I never will.
It does not matter what God determines to do to remedy this dark situation
because to His will I always defer.
Lastly, I want to repeat that the Satanic Pentagram that was painted on the side
of the church and those who put it there and those leaders who tolerated it
being there have no idea what an abomination this mark is to all the saints and
prophets and angels in the heavens who do God's will. And when the
membership of Christ's church is closed as it has been by Mike Cole, the
Administrative Commission and Joe Delgatto, then surely judgment is about to be
passed and punishment meted out. Let those who have ears hear and those
who have eyes see.
To all the good people at Heights Presbyterian Church I ask you to keep the
faith and pray.
In Jesus name,
