Baltimore megachurch pastor Jamal Bryant says he recently felt “burdened” by calls for his resignation following several scandals over the past few years.
In an interview with The Christian Post following the dismissal of a case by a woman who claimed he was stalking and harassing her, Bryant said, “I want to tell you transparently what burdened me the most. It’s the call for my resignation and the question of my call only came from Christian sites. [We’ve] got to be very careful how we treat each other, not just when things are going well but in trying times.”
Saying that he had been ‘publicly persecuted,’ Bryant expressed gratitude that his church, Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, MD, and his father, AME Bishop John R. Bryant, stood by him through his latest legal challenge. “For my church to be able to stick together with me and support me even while I gave the perfunctory ‘no comment’ really says a whole lot about them,” he said.
“I’m really humbled by the ordeal. So to say this was traumatic would be really an understatement.”
