This letter is in reference to an article in The Natchez Democrat on March 24 titled “Pastor charged in rape.”

The article stated that the pastor in question is a pastor at True Bibleway Church.

Please note that a clarification is needed. The church in question is True Bibleway of the Apostolic Deliverance Temple. The pastor who was arrested is not associated with the True Bible Way Church of Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith Organization.

True Bible Way Church of the Apostolic Faith Organization has received service marks from the Secretary of State’s Office in Clarksdale, and there is no evidence that this pastor is associated.

He is associated with True Bibleway A.D.T.

Our church, True Bible Way Church of Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith Organization, has no religious, fellowship or legal affiliation with the aforementioned True Bibleway A.D.T.

There is a distinct difference in the assembly with the A.D.T. added.

This article has caused much concern with parishioners around the world.

Bishop James Dawson

pastor, True Bible Way Church of Jesus Christ of

the Apostolic Faith Organization

Editor’s note: The original March 24 article did not say the pastor charged was affiliated with True Bible Way Church of Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith Organization. The article said the pastor charged was from True Bibleway Church, which is correct.
