Jimmy Allen

From dKosopedia

Rev. Jimmy Allen is a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Allen was kicked out of the church after he admitted that members of his family had contracted AIDS from a tainted blood transfusion.

Jimmy's son Scott Allen "was the minister of education at First Christian Church in Colorado Springs, Colo. When he found out about the disaster that had struck his family, he informed the senior pastor.

Scott had hoped for a measure of concern, counsel and compassion, his father said. The pastor's response: You're fired. Shortly after, Allen said, Matthew was kicked out of the church's day care center and the entire family was told to find another church."
