A few questions always spring to mind when I read these types of posts. How does a man who is 23 years of age become a "gifted pastor"?
I know some poor soul out there attends Asylum Hill Congregational Church in Hartford. Can you tell me what seminary he study out. Or what university he attended? I read these stories and think, "how dumb is that"? A 23-year-old has little wisdom as wisdom comes with age. A 23-year-old has little experience as experience come from actually working. An a 23-year-old has all the same impulse control issues as other 23-year-males. That is too say, impulse control is a challenge. So... Why are we surprised when they get arrested for assault? I'm never surprised anymove.
The director of outreach ministries at Asylum Hill Congregational Church in Hartford was arrested Tuesday on third-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges. Frederick L. Ward, 23, of 15 Bates St., was arrested after an incident near 18 Bates St. about 10:20 p.m. A police spokesman said details of what happened were not immediately available.
