Robert Morris, founder and former senior pastor of Gateway Church in Texas who served on President Donald Trump's Evangelical Advisory Board in 2016, pleaded guilty on Thursday to five felony counts of child sexual abuse. Morris, formerly of Gateway"one of the largest evangelical congregations in Texas"resigned from the church last year amid the accusations. The case marks a significant development in ongoing national discussions concerning abuse within religious organizations and the challenges survivors face in seeking justice. The guilty plea and sentencing of such a prominent religious figure cast a spotlight on the mechanisms of institutional accountability and the ongoing efforts to address sexual abuse in faith-based communities and beyond. In 2020, during a "Roundtable on Transition to Greatness" event in Texas, Trump mentioned Morris along with another pastor, calling them "great people."
