Leave it to you to take the low road.  A lay pastor is a laymen who fills the role of pastor in a church when a regular pastor is not available.  It is common.  We have them in our conference on occasion.  I'm not sure, but I don't think they get paid.

The State has no right to demand sermons or notes from any preacher, unless they're encouraging their congregations to overthrow the government.  This is Gestapo-type tactics.  Welcome to "1984" and the "Thought Police."

Knowing virtually nothing about this case, you've made a lot of unwarranted assumptions:  insinuating that he might have "usurped" the pulpit; that his ideas about people are flawed; that he preached discrimination.  His only "crime," apparently, was that he preached what the Bible teaches about homosexuality.  HORRORS!  We've reached a sad and dangerous time in this country when one can lose their job and have Big Brother censor their sermons.

But, would you have been so quick to judge him if he had been white?
