Pastor Walter Hoye is about to preach within a different type of house. Hoye was found guilty in January on two misdemeanor counts for going within eight feet of patients and staff at the Family Planning Specialists clinic in Oakland, according to The Christian Post. Several African American pastors traveled from across the country to California to support Hoye during his sentencing yesterday. Hoye is the founder of the Issues4Life Foundation and an outspoken opponent of what he calls the genocide of unborn African Americans.-WLW
