The pastor who recently threatened to force resignations if his church leaders didn’t ban Facebook has offered to step down from his position as leader of a New Jersey church following an admission of multiple 3- and 4-way affairs.
Rev. Cedric Miller made the offer, as well as an apology, during Sunday’s sermon at the Living Word Fellowship Church in Neptune, N.J.
"For any pain that my past mistakes has caused you, I again ask for your forgiveness," the pastor said.
Miller apologized for what he said was a mistake made in his past and told the congregation that if church leaders find him unfit to serve, he will step down.
"Should the elders and leaders now deem me unfit for duty, I love the church enough to step down immediately," he said.
Last week, Miller threatened to force the resignation of his leaders if they failed to delete their Facebook accounts claiming that the social site ignites old passions and makes it easy to cheat.
His affairs did not stem from Facebook.
