HOUSING AUTHORITY OF PORTLAND Devers said, "T he vote was taken by the deacons but the membership did not vole. And I believe the vote would have been different.” Devers declined to state the reasons for his dismissal and since the deacons refused an interview, we can only address the statements from members of New Hope We assured those members that their name w ould not be printed They told us his termination hinged upon charges o f sexual misconduct, embezzlement and m isappro priation of funds. To these charges, Devers issued a blanket denial " I have no m oral m isconduct. And it is not true they charged me with embezzlement I had no access to church monies other than what they had written to m e." However, some members repor ted that Devers, in his nine years at New Hope, had a history o f d if ficulties in paying his bills. " I think he filed bankruptcy prior to coming to our church At times he could not pay his phone b ill, car note and would borrow the credit cards o f some church members." The charge of sexual misconduct is d iffic u lt to prove or disprove unless both parties confess. One female member stated that Devers subjected some women in the church to sexual harrassment " I think he thought all women wanlcd him. And he would approach women who were having hard limes. They were too embarrassed to come fo r ward and confess because Devers said that he loved them ." Rumors about Devers had been around fo r some time, but he said they centered on his style. “ I believe in being personal with my members. I hold their hands, kiss their face and laugh with them. If I set myself too far away, I can’ t hear their moans. I would only be able to hear them if they shouted out. And some of them don’t shout.” Devers said his differences in style caused a conflict with the deacons from the very beginning "W e ’ ve Dated at Olympia, Washington this 6th day of June. 1984 à •k DR.

Rev. A . Bernard Devers was dismissed Saiurday, June 2nd, a. pastor of New Hope Baptist Church. gone through many ups and downs." Some members accused Devers of not visiting the sick "M y brother was c ritic a lly ill and we called Devers He never did show so we called another minister.” Devers said he never stopped visiting, "B u t I don’ t go for just a headache If I talk to a person who has no real need fo r v is ita tio n , I pray for them where I ’ m at. It is not neglect if I don't visit them. Also, there has to be an understanding of what I ’ m doing at the tune of their call.” On Sunday, June 3rd, services were dismissed early. C ontrary to rumors that Devers was taken away by the police, nothing really hap pened. Devers said, " A s soon as the deacons discovered I was on the premises, they started running in and out ol the church office I told them I intended to preach until the membership said d iffe re n tly . The brothers said they could physically keep me from preaching and I agreed." Detective Dave Simpson from the Portland Police Inform ation Office said two officers were called out to the church and the deacons inquired about a restraining order and crim in a l trespass. " B u t no arrest was made." Because o f various rum ors, Devers said, "T h in g s are so tense that people who arc well-intended w ill say and do things that may cause you to go o ff. But it is impor tant that the body o f New Hope lives. I never claimed to be perfect and I did not try Io satisfy everyone.” Devers said he will remain in Port land and expects to establish a new church sometime soon One member sadly concluded, " I t is too bad that New Hope had to go through all this mess. The Black church is a strong and vital part of this community and I hope you w ill let the public know what went on so we can go on and do the l ord’s bid ding. Like our race has survived, New Hope w ill survive this and move forward. And that is the only thing that matters — moving lo r w ard."
