A photo provided to The News & Observer shows Republican Lt. Gov.
Dan Forest at a fundraiser with a leader of a western North Carolina
church that’s being sued by a former member who says church leaders
tried to beat the “homosexual demons” out of him.
Forest, who was elected to a second
term last year, is a socially conservative Republican who’s expected to
run for governor in 2020.
The photo shows Forest standing in a living room with Robin Webster, a leader of Word of Faith Fellowship
in Spindale in Rutherford County, about 70 miles west of Charlotte.
Word of Faith has come under scrutiny in recent months after 43 former
members told the Associated Press that church members try to expel demons using “blasting” prayers where congregants were smacked, choked, punched and thrown to the floor.
