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

Rev. A . Bernard Devers was

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."
