They came, as they do every Sunday, to pledge their faith.
About 100 members of London's Ambassador Baptist Church gathered yesterday to comfort each other, sing and thank God after a week that brought sexual abuse charges against some church leaders.
They still have faith in God, deacon Grant Milmine said.
And they have faith the four charged men -- they remain in custody, pending a London court appearance today -- have done nothing wrong.
"Our (leaders) may be in jail, but I believe this morning that they're praising Jesus Christ," Milmine said in a service that felt more like a rally than a traditional mass.
