email: Lynn Johnson Stated Clerk of Presbytery of New Covenant

* * * * * * 

The minister of Heights Presbyterian Church, Joe Delgatto, testified in open court on February 10, 2003, that he and a few other rogue members of the church, without authority from the session, the Presbytery of New Covenant or the congregation, obligated (or attempted to obligate) Heights Presbyterian Church to a $ 4.7 million HUD retirement home project in the Independence Heights neighborhood, a high crime and prostitution Houston subdivision.  This was done mostly in secret over a two year period.  Who wants their parents living in this area when there are other choices available.  How did HUD approve this project when there is no access to grocery stores or other amenities for normal living much less such a high crime area?

To support the minister in this and other bad acts, the Presbytery of New Covenant, specifically Lynn Johnson, the stated clerk, Art Greer and Belinda Windham have illegally, by church law, appointed an administrative commission headed by Rev. M. Douglas Harper to take over the session of Heights Presbyterian Church and to try to retroactively and illegally justify the project to the congregation by fiat as well as to endorse other bad acts by Delgatto.

Houston neighborhood gets unwanted reputation

The neighborhood is Independence Heights, one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Texas. But now it's getting a reputation for something far different. It's been posted on the Internet as being the place to find a prostitute.

Residents of that area are fed up and say the current laws go too easy on the streetwalkers.

"They've told our officers they can be arrested and within hours be back on the streets," said HPD Captain J.A. Lampignano.

"It doesn't take nothing but a pen and paper to change the law, and we want them to change the law," said Neighborhood Leader John Branch. "This is our River Oaks. This is our Sugar Land and we don't want it."

Over the last year, Houston police officers have made more than 230 arrests in the neighborhood, but officers say those arrests just don't stick.

• March 7, 2003 WorldPeace responds to an email from Joe Delgatto regarding his version of the truth of his corrupt and bad acts.
• March 6, 2003  WorldPeace letter to Dr. Renton, Chair, General Assembly, regarding her endorsing of the abandonment of the Book of Order by the Presbytery of New Covenant and other bad acts which amount to a rejection of Jesus and a scandal on the gospel.
• March 6, 2003 Post Card sent to the congregation of Heights Presbyterian Church
• March 4, 2003 The rogue members of Heights Presbyterian Church, who have no defense to the allegations of lying and corruption they have foisted on the church, resort to a personal attack on WorldPeace, his mother and the senior members of the congregation.  The viciousness of this letter seems to controvert the administrative commission's belief that the congregation can heal.
• March 3, 2003 The illegal administrative committee allegedly authorized by the Presbytery of New Covenant issued a letter to the congregation on Sunday, March 2, 2003. The clear implication of the letter is that the administrative commission was going to attempt to shove the fraudulent Independence Heights project down the throats of  the congregation and support Joe Delgatto's bad acts of betrayal.  There can be little question now that Presbytery was a part of the secretive Independence Heights project from the beginning two years ago.  The Presbytery has forsaken the well being of the church and Jesus with their deceptive and fraudulent acts.  The truth is that Presbytery is nothing more than a minister's union.
• February 23, 2003   WorldPeace's response to a poorly written twelve page letter from Joe Delgatto, the minister of Heights Presbyterian Church, to the congregation where he tries to respond to WorldPeace's accusations over the last nine months.  There is no doubt that the administrative commission is having an effect on Joe but for the present the administrative commission still believes that they can save his ministry.  The reality is that Joe is a liar per his testimony in court on February 10th and there is no place for an arrogant, lying, apathetic minister who has permanently alienated half of the congregation.
• February 17, 2003   Letter from WorldPeace to Rev. Harper regarding the arrogant presentation by the Right Reverend Louise Raw at worship service.  Presbytery insists on holding its inquisition of church members off church premises so that WorldPeace can be kept away from the participants.  After making the list of times for people to speak, neither the minister nor the Presbytery bothered to pick up the list.  It just shows the insincerity of the whole "dog and pony show" which has already decided to support the rogue minister.
• February 14, 2003   Letter of protest from WorldPeace to Rev. Douglas Harper, chair of the illegal administrative commission that has, per the Book of Order, illegally assumed control of the church session 
• February 12, 2003  WorldPeace letter to congregation re: the court's ruling, turning Delgatto over to HUD and the Inspector General for his fraudulent acts regarding the Independence Heights project, response to the Houston Chronicle article about the Independence Heights project.
• January 28, 2003  WorldPeace letter to Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly regarding resident evil at Heights Presbyterian Church, session having meetings away from the church, hiring of the church attorney who was forced to quit by WorldPeace after two weeks, refusal of Delgatto to allow WorldPeace to become a member of the church which per the Book of Order is a rejection of Christ, Delgatto cancels the Christmas Eve service because of his laziness and apathy toward Christ, informal meeting of the members held by WorldPeace after church against Delgatto's demands for the members to go home, Satanic Pentagram painted on the side of the church and Patty Ellis refusal to remove it.
• December 12, 2002  Letter to Dr. Hamon regarding the illegal contributions of Diane Springer to attempt to obligation Heights Church to the Independence Heights Project.
• December 8, 2002  Summary of evidence sent to Presbytery regarding the Independence Heights Project.

In Jesus' name,

WorldPeace

How can we manifest peace on earth if we do not include everyone (all races, all nations, all religions, both sexes) in our vision of Peace?
