Cuffing the Preacher

This took place in the normally-staid Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. I used to be a member. I'm pretty sure they have proper synod channels to deal with these issues, so I'm somewhat puzzled about the police's involvement:

A Lutheran pastor who has been the focus of a church dispute between rival factions was arrested on a trespassing charge in the middle of his sermon.

The Rev. Jimmy McCants, 54, was not handcuffed when police led him out of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church on Sunday. He was booked on a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespassing and released in lieu of $1,000 bond.

The church's board of directors told police they had fired McCants on Christmas Eve, and a woman affiliated with the church signed a complaint against him for trespassing on church property, said Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond.
