The ******* says at the end of June they received a “concerning report” of inappropriate communication on social media between Anthony and a former member of the *******.

When the incident was further investigated, the ******* says Anthony was not forthcoming or transparent.

In early July, the ******* was told about inappropriate communication between Anthony and a former staff member.

The ******* says the communication “was not *******, but it was excessively personal, and overly familiar with a former staff member.”

Cross Timbers says they then asked for the pastor to resign and he agreed.

In an announcement in late July, the ******* said “The inappropriate and hurtful actions of Josiah do not include any children, physical or ******* interactions or any ******** activity to our knowledge.”

After the ******* announced the resignation, more women came forward and revealed comments in texts and on social media that were “******* in nature.”

Cross Timbers says they will take additional action as needed.

“Thank you to the women who were courageous coming forward. We believe you, are grateful for your willingness to share your experiences, and we are deeply sorry that your trust was violated,” the ******* wrote in the letter to its members.

Cross Timbers founder Toby Slough will take on the role of interim Lead Pastor.
