CORDOVA, Tenn. — Paul Williams, minister of prayer and special projects at Bellevue Baptist Church, Cordova, Tenn., has been fired for sexually abusing his adolescent son 17 years ago. A Jan. 28 report to the church said Williams, who has been on staff for 34 years, engaged in “egregious, perverse, sexual activity with his adolescent son” over a period of 12–18 months. Williams then became convicted of his actions, stopped and asked for forgiveness. He never sought counseling until recently, when his son initiated it. And neither Williams nor his son revealed the matter to anyone else at the time.
