Parishioner slaps Port Arthur church with lawsuit

After being expelled from her church, Jessie Mae Jackson, a lifelong member of the Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Port Arthur, said she just wanted their pastor to be more transparent with the church’s finances.

“There was a lot of conflict of interest going on,” she said. “A lot of nepotism, just stuff that wasn’t right.”

Local church makes headlines

Calling Christians a bunch of jerks is sure to turn a few heads, even more so when the one doing the name-calling is a group of Christians themselves.

They didn't expect, however, to be answering calls from national news organizations as to what prompted the ad campaign.
