South Carolina Youth Pastor In Trouble For Stickers He Handed Out To Kids
A youth pastor in Greer, South Carolina is on administrative leave after admitting to handing out stickers that read “I (Heart) Hot Youth Pastors.” The stickers were reportedly given to minors.
According to the Washington Post, parents became concerned after pictures of the stickers appeared on social media last week. Twitter user @emilykmay was one of the first:

On Sunday, Fairview Baptist Church announced that 35-year-old youth pastor Cory Wall had been placed on administrative leave. A message posted to the church’s website stated, “Our student pastor, Cory Wall, acknowledges that he made a poor decision and a mistake by making a sticker available that was offensive to some.”
The statement also noted that Wall would not be involved in student leadership responsibilities while the situation is under investigation.
