SHEFFIELD, Ala. (WHNT) – A new day brings new developments in the investigation into a former church music director facing allegations of sexual misconduct with church youth.
In a letter from Sheffield First United Methodist Church to its congregation, Pastor/Parish Relations Chairman Billy Don Anderson outlined the events that led to Music Director Oliver Brazelle’s firing.
In the letter, Anderson says a decision was made to confront Brazelle about rumors of sexual misconduct that were circulating.
The letter states “Oliver admitted to us [Anderson and Pastor Zeke Haselden], that he had an inappropriate relationship with a younger member of our church sometime in the 1990s.”
