My Memories of and Musings on HAC / FBCH

I recently picked up one of the Hammond Pulpit sermon books. Of the ever how many hundreds of pages I randomly opened to four pages and pointed. My finger each time landed on an illustration / real life story being given by Hyles........ about himself.

This could be done for hours and you'll always land on an illustration.

Why do you believe that?

I mean DH had been gone from the church more than a half dozen years.

DH came back to Hammond in the very early 90's. He was successfully growning a business with A.L. Williams. He was earning the respect of FBC members again, but on a business level rather than a spiritual level.
After he met with the married HBJHS secretary on a Schererville road one night, a meeting was held with the Pastor, the three HB principals and I believe, Eddie Lapina to decide if the secretary should keep her position on staff. A police report was made about their meeting. She kept her job; parents reacted as their children would've been expelled from HB had a student been caught in the car. Their meeting was pre-arranged as the secretary had her boys spending the night with a HB teacher that night and her husband worked 3rd shift.

In 1989, the church members sided with JH over Nishchick....this was the 100% loyal period.
In 1991, the mass exodus began after deacons brought the DH/secretary meeting up in a deacon's meeting. JH shot it down, even
after many, many deacons had already received a copy of the police report in the mail. JH had told the principals there was no police report while deciding if she should stay employed at HBJHS. JH was caught in a blatant lie, siding with his son and the school secretary, but the deacons had already been provided with hard evidence that the two had met on that Schererville road. JH & FBC lost many deacons, SS teachers, bus workers, soulwinners, choir members and dedicated Christians in the coming days and weeks.

I believe this my husband if he were alive could tell stories. I bet Clyde Wolfe could also

Start a thread and one learns yet more that he hasn't known all these years. I knew DH came back for a while.
I knew there was the '91 Exodus, but I thought it was all rolled into the Nischick, Godfrey, Sumner episode.

I agree that I have heard bits and pieces of what TT wrote about with regard to DH coming back to the Hammond area for awhile. I hope his facts are good. I wasn't there and like BCH, I did not know that DH had played a role in the stuff that went on in 1990.
