Golden Fleece

Walk the spiritual walk: There are a lot of horror stories, like yours, that come out of Capstone Cathedral ("The Frisby Legacy," Sarah Fenske, August 17). The congregation was spiritually abused by the Frisbys. The anointed — as the Frisbys like to be called — should not fleece the flock. Judgment will also come upon them.

I once attended this church, and firsthand can attest to the abuse and circuslike atmosphere that was prevalent. The flock has been scattered for years, since Neal Frisby and his family were holding church services. There was an instance when a church official went so far as to tell some members to take their black folk out of there. Then Neal had to apologize to the congregation regarding that racial slur.

Curtis Frisby is hardly the "anointed" pastor who could be trusted with someone's spiritual walk.
